About Us
Our Mission
From serene lakeside retreats to your forever home, our firm excels in seamlessly integrating architecture with the natural environment. We prioritize detail-oriented design, collaborating closely with clients to transform their aspirations into distinctive, livable spaces that inspire and endure.
At Elevate Design, we combine technical expertise with artistic flair to deliver unparalleled results. From concept to construction, we are committed to crafting homes that not only stand out but also harmonize beautifully with their surroundings.
More Than Just a Set of Plans
While most architectural documents stop at constrution we strongly believe in a strong presence throughout construction.
Issues often arise during construction and without the designer involved the final product may be compromised. We believe in weekly on-site meetings to assist with design questions and ensure the project is completed the way the design was intended.
What Makes Elevate Special
With a heritage deeply rooted in craftsmanship—spanning three generations of custom home builders—I bring a unique perspective to every project.
My journey began at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, where I honed my passion for architecture and earned my degree. To complement my education, I spent six formative years in rough carpentry, where I immersed myself in the intricacies of construction, learning firsthand the practicalities and nuances that shape a structure.
Following graduation, I embarked on a transformative three-year tenure with a prestigious design-build firm specializing in modern and contemporary architecture. Here, I delved into the cutting-edge principles of architectural design, refining my skills and expanding my vision under the mentorship of industry leaders.
Today, I am dedicated to translating this wealth of experience into creating exceptional homes and spaces that blend innovation with functionality. Whether it’s crafting serene lakeside retreats or reimagining contemporary urban living, I am committed to bringing a meticulous eye for detail and a passion for thoughtful design to every project.
