"John and his team were perfect fit for our 60's ranch rehab in Elgin, Illinois. We needed someone who could make our creative ideas bloom and keep them realistic. This ambitious DIY project benefited not only from his vast design history but also his experience with building and zoning departments. He gets a special merit badge for navigating Cook County! He worked within our budget and allowed for in-the-field creativity. His strengths include listening, pulling out the essence of our desires, and interpreting that via exciting design options. We also loved his ability to bring an artist's heart to the architect's desk." 

"John was very reassuring when I called him in a panic about the balcony we are trying to build. We had already hired a contractor and found out we were not going to satisfy the codes of the village, and had to hire an architect in order to do so. I had never had to do that before, and thought it would too expensive. John came to meet us right away so he could get started on the plans. The village codes are very numerous and strict, and John found a way to help us get exactly what we wanted, without having to sacrifice any space to meet these codes. At the beginning of the process, I asked John if he could give me a ball park on how much his services would cost, and the final bill was pretty much spot on what said it would be. John is a very talented architect with a kind and knowledgeable disposition. It was our pleasure to work with him. I would use his services again, and highly recommend him to others."
