about Dfouro

technology

human experience

In late 2024, I founded Dfouro Creative LLC after leaving a national design practice to address industry pressures.  With nearly 30 years of experience, my experience helps simplify decisions and realize outcomes that matter to you.

In conversations with clients, designers, contractors and everyone in between, it is clear that quiet influences like labor market scarcity are taking their toll.  Economic instability, advancing AI and technology, manufacturing growth, etc. are among the many factors that can make creating space for a specific need challenging.

Dfouro exists because the way architecture connects to the world is also changing. It recalibrates the role of design, aligning people, process, and design/construction technology so projects deliver clearer outcomes with less friction.

We practice integrative design augmented by modern technology and manufactured construction methods, aiming to link work to upstream and downstream industry systems that continue to  develop quickly.

As technology accelerates in our world, Dfouro seeks to establish human balance. The built environment can lift people up, or erode their well-being. It's time to design for whole-health outcomes as core to the human experience in the built environment. 

Optimizing technology is exciting. Harnessing it to create resilient buildings and communities, and that’s a mandate where lasting value originates.
