Building a Dream

the beautiful Bay Area

Creativity has always been one of my strongest suits, and I have been working as an architect for the last 15 years between London, New York and San Francisco. I’ve been fortunate to work for dynamic, highly innovative companies, allowing me to grow creatively, professionally, and travel extensively. I put my architectural knowledge to use when I bought my three-bedroom Edwardian era home in Noe Valley in San Francisco five years ago. I spent a year remodeling the house, doing much of the work myself with the help of friends.


my home in sunny Noe Valley

Noe Valley is a sunny neighborhood and home to a diverse population with many local amenities, including pre-schools, schools, and playgrounds. I enjoy spending time working on the garden, and have a large lawn perfect for a sand box and a big Chinese Elm ideal for hanging a swing. The baby’s nursery is bright and spacious with windows overlooking the garden.


my garden, an oasis in the city

I have created an inviting and comfortable home filled with books, artwork, and mementos from my travels. It is a home filled with music, joy and laughter, and the tasty smells of cooking. As I love to cook and especially bake, I frequently entertain friends and family trying out new dishes or bringing out “my old favorites”. I also have a vacation home in Tucson, Arizona, which is nestled against the mountains, and the majestic scenery of the South West
