Design as Healing Youth & Recovery
This upcoming project is a community-driven initiative in Tampa that combines two of the things I care deeply about: nurturing creativity in youth and supporting emotional recovery through thoughtful design.
THINGS TO KNOW
When your core values are clear, your decisions are much easier.
In design and in life values are everything. They guide decisions when things get unclear.
They ground vision when trends come and go. And for me, they serve as a compass I return to every day. These aren’t buzzwords. They’re the way I live, lead, and build.

THINGS I LIKE
Music
Music is the closest thing we have to real magic. It moves us without touching us, sends us traveling without letting our feet leave the floor. And sometimes, as a remodeling contractor who also thinks like a designer, I catch myself wondering: What would Beethoven’s Ninth look like as a material? How would Mozart’s Divertimento translate into texture? What shape would “We Will Rock You” take if it were a wall, a floor, a room? Those questions spark ideas that guide the concepts I build turning sound into space and emotion into structure.
Illustration
I fell in love with art the moment I realized a single line could become a heart… a family… a house. That was the first time I built something – not with bricks, but with imagination.
Design
Design fascinates me because it quietly improves our lives without asking for attention. It shapes how we move, how we use things, and how we feel in the spaces we call our own. A smart detail can make a daily routine smoother. A thoughtful layout can make a home calmer. Good design doesn’t just look nice- it makes life easier, kinder, and more intuitive.
Construction
There’s something almost sacred about walking onto an empty site and knowing that, months later, families will laugh there, couples will grow there, and someone’s future will take shape within those walls. That transformation: from nothing to something meaningful, beautiful, and alive is what drives me. It’s the reason I get out of bed every morning. Because every project isn’t just a structure; it’s a chance to build a childhood, strengthen a relationship, or give an entrepreneur the space where their next chapter begins.
A Creative Builder with a Heart
Who inspires me
I’m a product of everything: good, bad, unexpected, and beautifully ordinary that’s shaped my life. Every setback taught me patience. Every success demanded humility. But at the core of it all is my upbringing, and I’m deeply grateful to my parents for giving me both roots and wings.
They made it possible for me to pursue the best education and exposed me to ideas, people, and places that would go on to define my professional journey. Along the way, I’ve been inspired by minds far greater than mine-architects, artists, engineers, visionaries-people who weren’t afraid to ask “what if” and keep going, even without applause.
These are the figures who helped shape how I think, build, and live. Their work lives in the details of what I do every day. And in many ways, they gave me permission to dream a little bigger, design a little bolder, and believe in the power of space to change lives.
