Hi I’m Mykaela
I’m a designer and draftsperson based out of San Diego, California. I received my Bachelor of Science in Architecture and my Masters in Architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts. I'm on my way to becoming a licensed architect in California – three exams down, four to go (woohoo!). For now, I am required to refer to myself as a designer.
I worked for three high-end custom residential home firms before starting my own studio, but now I enjoy working with all types of budgets. I’m passionate about functional and sustainable design that expresses the character of the home - whether it relates to the homeowner’s style, the surrounding neighborhood, or the beauty of the natural world. I have experience designing with sustainable materials - both natural and recycled - and I believe a healthy home is essential.
My studio focuses on single-family homes - new construction, renovations, additions, accessory-dwelling units, you name it! I would love to collaborate with you to create a design that fits your needs and your style, and will guide you through the permitting process so that we can bring your vision to life.
My services include:
Zoning research + feasibility
Design, drafting + permitting
Interior design + decorating
Exterior design, pools + landscaping
Interior + exterior renderings + 3D perspective views
