At the age of eight Sharon began “playing” with house designs, which grew into a true love of the architectural process during high school drafting classes. After growing up in Ft. Worth, Texas, Sharon later graduated with honors from the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. She then furthered her education through specialized courses such as Urban Design Studies in Oxford England, the School of Engineering at UT Austin, and two Permaculture landscape design courses in Colorado.

Sharon gained her first architectural license while working with a number of large architectural firms in Boston MA.  There she refined the art of assuming personal responsibility for contractual obligations, and standing her ground when it comes to protecting her client's best interests and honoring her fiduciary duty to them.

After completing her professional internship, becoming licensed and practicing architecture in Boston, Sharon yearned for the landscape and culture of the West ... so she pulled the rip-cord on city living and landed in Taos NM.  There she established her own architectural private practice which quickly grew to be a dominant design force in northern New Mexico.  Her firm, Tres Ventanas Architecture, employed a half-dozen strong and talented architects. They worked tirelessly to make their client's dreams come true, and they all (clients included) had a ton of fun in the process.

During the later phase of Sharon’s time in Taos, she focused on creating development projects as a way to bring her own personal design vision into reality.  These projects offered Sharon the opportunity to "create" from the more comprehensive role of being the project owner, developer, architect and general contractor ... as well as landscape designer, interior designer and marketing maestro. Sharon’s time in Taos lasted almost 20 years till 2011, when she and her husband move to Colorado in pursuit of fresh goals.

While the world watched the mortgage crisis recession settled in, Sharon took some time to pursue a personal goal and became certified as a Nutritional Therapy Consultant. This education gives Sharon a deep understanding of human anatomy, physiology and biochemistry which has proven invaluable in her quest to create healthy living environments that minimize toxic exposures. Because the quality of our shelters can have direct impact on our well being, Sharon's detailed knowledge of natural health brings unique insights to the decision making process for crafting homes and landscapes that support true wellness.
