design services

At LBD I offer design services to meet your needs for projects large to small. I enjoy the variety that comes from being involved with projects of varying type and scale. Most importantly, I provide personalized attention for my clients as we work towards their design goals.

RESIDENTIAL

Whether you just acquired a new piece of land and are looking to build your dream home, or are simply looking to add a mudroom to your house to help manage the pile up of winter gear, I can help you pinpoint your needs and offer design solutions. 

NEW CONSTRUCTION - RENOVATIONS - ADDITIONS

RESTAURANTS - COMMERCIAL - INSTITUTIONAL

Public, commercial and institutional projects have the ability to positively impact many people through thoughtful design. If you're challenged with bringing more daylight into a previously dark office environment or wanting to create a community space where people can come together, LBD will help to create a beautiful and functional vision for your needs.

FARMS & FOOD

We are lucky here in Maine to be surrounded by a bounty of beautiful small scale farms and fresh food. I have worked with a number of local farms to help conceive commercial processing kitchens, farmhouse renovations, barn expansions, greenhouses and community gathering spaces.
