About John

"What I find most impressive about John is his broad grasp of the design world, his keen eye for opportunity and his cooperative spirit. . . His integrity, honesty and transparency in all aspects of business are inspiring." -Tom Kundig, FAIA Recipient of AD100, Architectural Digest's 100 most influential architects and designers in the world of 2022 A Pacific Northwest native, John was lucky to have grown up surrounded by some of the leading architects, designers, artists, merchants and trendsetters of that region and beyond. Whether talking client relations with internationally noted Seattle architect Tom Kundig, being taught card tricks by Starbucks’ Howard Schultz, or discussing kitchen design with Julia Child, John absorbed the silly as well as the sublime aspects of arts, architecture, culture and business. John has managed and marketed some of the most influential design/museum stores on the West Coast and has a special flair for inspiring his staff and customers. John’s twenty years of active Marin life with children, sports, volunteerism, local historical research and arts involvement give him a unique insight into all the opportunities of our region. When working with John you’re getting someone who not only knows the community, but can see beyond the four walls of a space and grasp the potential of a home that only someone with his design experience could see.
