As an Architectural Designer, I specialize in creating residential design drawings, space planning, interior architecture, and permit-ready documentation for remodels and renovations. My role is focused on the design, planning, and documentation of residential construction projects.

I offer discounted pricing for contractors who need multiple drafting services, and I also have a 4-month subscription program with priority scheduling and highly reduced rates. This is perfect for contractors or investors who want consistent drafting support on multiple projects.

⚖️ What I’m Allowed to Do legally (California)

Under California building regulations, architectural designers are allowed to:

✔ Prepare and submit residential design drawings

for one-story and two-story single-family dwellings, including remodels, additions, and alterations.

✔ Prepare non-structural drawings

This includes all interior reconfigurations that do not modify structural or load-bearing components.

✔ Prepare drawings that require engineering

As long as a licensed structural engineer provides stamped calculations for any structural modifications.

✔ Create Title 24 Mandatory Measures sheets

(I can coordinate the CF1R if needed.)

✔ Work directly with homeowners and contractors

Your role is professional and recognized, even though you’re not a licensed architect.

What i’m not allowed to do:

I stay within my legal scope at all times. I do not:

  • Provide structural engineering

  • Stamp drawings as an architect or engineer

  • Design foundations, beams, or load-bearing changes without an engineer

  • Provide mechanical, plumbing, or electrical engineering

  • File myself as the architect of record (because I’m not an architect)

If a project requires structural design, I coordinate with a licensed structural engineer, which is standard practice.
