Review by Guy H.in Manhattan Beach, CA Project: Hire an Architect to Design a Project
Not sure what I was expecting when procuring the services of a 'lighting architect.' He was responsive (in spite of some family health issues) and had some great ideas. His billing rate is probably fair. In retrospect I would have liked to sit down with him, with the catelogs, discuss alternatives and make the decision.....rather than select some of the fixtures from recommended websites. However, he was there when the final decisions were made, and we are happy with the outcome.

He prepared nice elevation drawings so we can see what the final project will look like. He took our comments and concerns into consideration in the drawings, plus added some extra ideas we had not considered previously.

Review by a customerin Playa Del Rey, CA Project: Hire an Architect to Design a Project
We have just begun working with him but he was by far the most professional and attentive of the people we interviewed. He seemed to try to gear the design to our special needs and gave freely of his time before we signed with him. He seems to be fairly priced. So far so good but we have not finished the design or begun building yet. The jury is out until after the project is finished.
