About Us

Background:

Rooted in architectural training and real-world construction experience, First Draft Interiors & Design approaches each space with a balance of structure, scale, and intention. With a background in custom millwork and residential drafting, every design is thoughtfully developed to ensure it translates seamlessly from concept to construction.

With a degree in Architectural Construction Technology and hands-on experience in both commercial millwork and residential design, I specialize in creating spaces that are not only visually refined but also practical and buildable. My experience working directly with shop drawings and construction ensures that every design decision is made with real-world execution in mind.

Skills Apart from Others:

• What sets First Draft Interiors & Design apart is a deep understanding of both design and construction. With a strong foundation in architectural drafting, every project is approached with a full comprehension of plans, elevations, sections, and technical details—ensuring ideas translate seamlessly from concept to build.

• Extensive experience in custom millwork and cabinetry design allows for thoughtful decision-making across a wide range of construction styles, including full overlay, inset, and European systems. Material knowledge spans cultured marble, natural wood species, butcher block, solid surfaces, and laminate, along with trusted vendor sourcing for granite and quartz.

• Beyond aesthetics, each space is evaluated for how it truly functions—ensuring proper flow, proportion, and usability. From hardware selection to layout efficiency, every detail is considered with real-life use in mind.

• With the ability to produce complete shop drawings from start to finish, designs are created with buildability at the forefront—whether for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry spaces, or custom millwork throughout the home.

• Experience coordinating with contractors, sourcing materials, and managing project details ensures a smooth and collaborative process from initial concept through execution.

• This approach is rooted not only in professional experience, but also in hands-on involvement—having personally renovated and transformed spaces, bringing a practical and lived-in perspective to every design.
