About 

The one constant for any Designer is Innovation. Creative-Thinking is what separates the great ideas from the good ones, the successful from the unsuccessful and the leaders from the followers. Designers, like myself, are on a constant search for Innovation. I pride myself on being the Designer “Multi-Hyphenate” and strive to constantly become a more original Architect-Graphic Designer-Artist.

Currently, I am the Design Director for MBI Design, an Architectural Design Company, and the Vice President of MBI Groups, a Real Estate Development Corporation, both based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Additionally, I am the Co-Creator and Creative Director of the critically-acclaimed Online Publication about Architecture and Film, Interiors
