Thank You...

Behind every great success… there usually lies a group of individuals defining goals and strategizing the “who, what, where and how”.

I believe that to create truly special, one-of-a-kind properties, the magic lies in a synergistic approach.  My most memorable and rewarding projects are those that are collaborations between the enthusiastic Santa Barbara or Montecito Homowner, me, the General Contractor and the Artisan Trades.

I have a unique ability to understand and assess each client’s desired project result… and can recommend options for building a team that will best fit, and meet your need. 

I have established working relationships with a network of Santa Barbara Architects, Structural Engineers, Architectectural Drafters and a variety of Santa Barbara General Contractors and individual Santa Barbara Artisan Trades, and can help guide you toward meeting your Santa Barbara and Montecito Home Renovation goals. I also enjoy collaborating with clients that already have these teams in place.

Please call me to discuss Team Options for your specific Santa Barbara Construction Project needs!

I want to express a very special Thank You to Clients Steve and Prudy Handelman for entrusting me with their Upper East Mansion.  Years ago, I enjoyed the project as my first design commission + whole house project management renovation which led to other large projects.  The synergistic collaboration with the Handelmans netted us a 2008 Santa Barbara Beautiful Award for the Santa Barbara Beautiful's Historic Restoration category.  I am extra proud, because Steve is the famous designer behind classic and quintessential iron work sold throughout Santa Barbara and the United States. Make sure you visit www.stevenhandelmanstudios.com for all of your wrought iron lighting needs!

Another Big Thank You to Melike Bitlis-Bush of www.MBBDesign.com for doing a fabulous job on this website… I am always receiving lots of compliments, and Melike continues to be a consultant on the new website I put together SantaBarbaraHomeDesigner.com!  Melike fits right in with my collaborative work ethic + philosophy and is a pleasure to work with.
