Custom luxury home design in Westport & Coastal Connecticut

Inspired Homes.


Your home should be that special place to make memories - to live, entertain, work, and grow.


The right space.

When home no longer fits, your everyday family routines become struggles. 


Frustrations become arguments: The mess in the kitchen, waiting for the over-crowded bathroom, trying to escape family noise to focus on a work deadline – when the truth is there’s not enough room, it’s just not the right space. 

Tailored to fit your life.

Your home should fit you, your family, and your lifestyle.

An inspired home tailored for you can make life easier and more enjoyable, and add to your comfort, happiness, and peace.



“Home should be your sanctuary. A place of peace and joy; a place that fosters connection with your loved ones; a place that energizes you for the world. And, the place where many of your magical 'moments' become favorite memories.”


John Jones, AIA, Principal

My mission is to create beautiful and sustainable homes that help homeowners fulfill their dreams of comfortable spaces for family togetherness, welcoming environments to share with guests, and tranquil escapes from the hectic demands of the modern world.


Whether you’re looking to design that modern farmhouse you dream of,  completely renovate your outdated beach house, or give yourself much-needed extra living or work space with a multi-use outbuilding (maybe a private home office, spacious workshop or art studio, or welcoming guest house), let’s talk

I believe that designing your own home should be a fun, creative, and enjoyable process for you, and I thrive on giving my clients that experience.


My design philosophy is simple: “Listen. Listen again. Ask the right questions. Keep Listening.” And it’s at the heart of my three-step process to go from understanding your needs and ideas to designing a solution and creating a plan that turns your dream of a custom home into reality.

Remodels & Additions are often much more challenging to design than a New Home. For starters, I must create a completely accurate model of the existing structure, which involves taking detailed measurements and lots of photographs.
