**★★★★★ — Freedom Global Enterprises, Inc, July 2015**

> I have seen Paul's work with other professionals and hired him for my own project. Excellent architectural skills with a keen eye for function, design and color. We received numerous compliments on every aspect of the project. Paul has the ability to help the client stay within budget and still make critical improvements and recommendations.  I intend to use him on many more projects. His charges are minimal compared to the final result and value gained.

**★★★★★ — Jan Bentley, June 2015**

> I hired Paul to design woodwork (wainscoting, bannisters, etc.) & ceiling stencils in the style of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh.  He drew up beautiful plans, stenciled the ceiling himself, & helped me find a good carpenter to make & install the woodwork.  He has also helped me with color.  He is immensely talented, especially on historic homes.  More photos are available upon request.
