Staff

We're a great bunch of folks committed to providing quality service to our clients. Each TightLines design is created with care and individual attention. Our staff works diligently to create plans that fit a lifestyle and our team is passionate about its work. The staff of TightLines is comprised of individuals who bring their own talents and interests to the team, but who share a common goal of providing the highest level of design to the affordable single and multi-family home. We are knowledgable, creative and genuinely concerned about the well-being of our environment and our clients.

While our technical expertise ranges from small house additions and historic renovations to supportive housing, we remain committed to eco-friendly design and social responsibility. With years of experience working with community development groups and neighborhood associations, TightLines sustains a philosophy of providing housing that meets the needs of both the individual and larger community. Our staff remains committed to creating housing that offers curb appeal, environmental sensitivity and proven livability.
