Façade and Glazing

       Why Work With Me

 

     As an independent façade and glazing consultant, my role is simple: help you make the best possible decisions when it comes to glass selection, curtain wall design, and overall envelope performance without bias, sales pressure, or hidden vendor agendas.

     I’m not here to sell you a system. I’m here to help you get it right technically, aesthetically, and sustainably.

​

              Here’s what I bring to your design team:

​

• Unbiased, Product-Agnostic Expertise
  You’ll get straight guidance based on real-world performance, not marketing claims. I’ll help you compare options, weigh tradeoffs, and select the right glazing systems for your project goals.

​

• Deep Knowledge of Façade Systems
  With over 34 years in the glazing industry, I’ve worked with everything from unitized curtain walls and structural glass walls to vacuum-insulated glass and jambo-size IGUs. I understand the material science, system behavior, and detailing that make or break performance.

​

• Proven R&D and Innovation Background
  I’ve led proprietary product development, overseen robotics integration in fabrication, and worked directly with engineering and manufacturing teams to solve complex envelope challenges. That technical grounding helps me flag issues early, and offer creative, buildable solutions.

​

• Clarity on Performance Metrics
  Whether you're targeting thermal performance, acoustic insulation, passive house goals, or just clean lines with no visible mullions, I’ll help you sort through the noise and choose systems that deliver.

​

• Alignment with Design Vision
  I understand how to balance form and function. If your design calls for clean, uninterrupted glass, minimal framing, or custom geometries, I’ll help you get there without compromising durability or constructability.

​

• Support Through All Design Phases
  From schematic concepts to construction detailing, I’ll be there to troubleshoot, validate specs, and act as a sounding board, making sure what gets drawn can actually get built, and built well.

​

• Sustainability and Longevity Focus
  I advise with long-term value in mind. That means helping you avoid overengineering, flagging systems that won’t age well, and making sure your envelope choices contribute meaningfully to energy efficiency and code compliance.

​

• Cost-Conscious Design Reviews

            My goal is to save the project money by identifying value engineering opportunities                  early in the design phase, not during construction, when changes are expensive and                  disruptive. I help reduce surprises and keep budgets intact.

​

     In short: I help design teams reduce risk, avoid rework, value engineering, and deliver façades that look great, perform reliably, and stand the test of time.
