- About Me:
- The best design challenges to me are the ones that appear impossible. It could be requiring a permanent bookstore to occupy the same space as a parking lot, or an open air farmers market where a building needs to sit. Whatever the puzzle, figuring out how to make it work is my passion.
I love working with clients to realize their vision, whether it is a real estate development or a hat rack made of trash. While working in award winning offices early in my career, it was clear that every design solution should be as unique as the requirements, context, and client that drove it. With Vertu Studio, I'm taking that understanding and my love of seemingly impossible challenges to facilitate clients' visions.
My belief in the importance of designing and creating with the environment and future generations in mind guides me in all my endeavors, from utilizing reclaimed waste and materials, to developing a revolutionary new bench for public spaces, to LEED consulting with the general contractor on major public works projects.
My project experiences include schools, university buildings, museums, homes, offices, and more. A passion for design has led to professional contacts at universities including MIT and USC, seats on final juries at the Art Center College of Design, Roger Williams University, and the Boston Architectural Center, as well as publication and invitations to speak. I also serve on the design team of Opportunity Green, a green business conference held each November at UCLA.

This raises a great question about what it means to be modern. Technically, modern refers to a long past era, with a fairly strict definition which includes the absence of 'decadent decorum'. However, by popular usage, modern applies to what is new,…
Hi!
I am working to get this bench manufactured, and am organizing my marketing campaign. I would love to hear what markets/places/venues this community thinks would be the best fit for it. I have my own thoughts, but I'd love to get great new ideas…
4 modules can be arranged into any configuration and length of bench, with or without a backrest, and either straight or curved. The design allows the aluminum to flex under you, comforting you unlike any other metal bench.
these are some nice piece of art & imagination...
nice work..!!

I would like to thank you once more for your comment of April 12. It is only now, that what you said, really "touched base"! You know, communicating in English is really a time consuming effort for me at least, so finally I had to ask our mutual friend dt-ATH, for some translation help with your Comment Text!
Unfortunately though, the project is due next Friday, May 16th., along with the other unit projects, 8 units in total, are due for submission at the same deadline! So you can tell, time margins for each, are very small, while work is continuous in order to fulfill the necessary unit requirements for each one of the projects. Nevertheless, we'll try to follow, as closely as possible, your railing treatment suggestion, art/acting positively towards chaos organization! If me and Giota run out of allocated time, we promise to have some time in the Future, a late submission upload for our MyarchN friends!
Thank you very much again, for your time/effort/wonderful suggestions!
