I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you guys do a really good job. I’m glad I decided to work with you. It’s great how easy your design was to read and manage. I never have any problem at all. Working with other architects, they didn’t take the time to understand what I wanted in a project. They wanted to ignore my ideas and do their own thing, which is not credible because it my project. Working with Miguel was an excellent choice because of his patience and talent for creating an amazing project.

We were blown away with the designing experience and the overall production value provided by Miguel Ramirez. The partnership was fluid and flexible when it needed to be, and more assertively directed when the time called for it. Thank you for being such great partners throughout this journey. We’re delighted with the final product and had a ton of fun along the way.
