I am a New York City based New York and Texas Registered Architect who specializes in residential and commercial building renovations; and new building construction.  Residential renovations include townhouse and apartment renovations, combination of apartments and extensions.  Commercial renovations include office and retail store gut renovations as well as building extensions.   My clientele include a wide range of individuals including property owners, developers and companies of all sizes looking for a one-stop shop for architectural services, code consulting and municipal approvals.  In addition I am a code consultant and expediter since 1997 and am well experienced with the Department of Buildings (DOB), Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and City Planning Commission (CPC) filings and approvals. 

I have worked at small and large architecture and expediting firms. The experience that I have gained by working at both architecture and expediting firms has enriched my own practice by allowing me to view and understand a project through all aspects of client and owner relations, codes, architecture and technical aspects of design. This experience has allowed me to provide detailed and concise professional and expediting services which in the end translates to valuable time saved in obtaining approvals from the various city agencies.
