Testimonial

“Ruth Ellen is insightful, practical, and thinks of things to incorporate into her designs that we never in a million years would have thought of. She’s got inter-personal and listening skills that would make a professional mediator jealous–traits that come in handy when managing the expectations and goals of a builder, owner, and even spouses! Working with her has always been a pleasure, and ten years on we are proud to call her our friend as well as our architect.”
