The casual version: 

My partner (Tricia Bollen - also a Biznik member) and I met Colorado State University while completing an intensive Interior Design program. After graduating and moving to Seattle, and after years of practicing our profession for large corporate design firms in varying fields of design (and marrying each other), we decided more fun could be had creating spaces by ourselves. Our business has grown exponentially since its conception, and we consider ourselves fortunate to be running a very successful design firm with the clients of our choosing!

Tricia specializes in the Interiors, and I specialize in the space planning and architectural detailing. My time is spent on AutoCAD where I have the ability to put together comprehensive construction documents (blueprints) for any type of project. I am also very skilled in multimedia marketing, and use Studio 8 (dreamweaver, freehand, flash, fireworks) to create fantastic digital media with a focus on websites.

The programs I use ~ For architectural drawings: AutoCAD ~ For websites: Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Freehand - all part of the Studio 8 suite.

The architectural drawings I create are full sets of construction documents including demo and build, reflected ceiling and lighting, space plans, elevations and details... ready for the general contractor to complete the work. Or I can simply input your space into AutoCAD for some quick space planning ideas.

My websites include all the latest design and programming elements necessary to provide the look and feel required for a successful interactive online experience.

Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Colorado State University
