"I don't even have words for how insanely talented and awesome Brian is. I came to him with a general idea of what I wanted for my tiny house. He grasped what I wanted almost intuitively. As a first time home owner I had many, many questions and concerns. Despite his crazy busy schedule, he always made time to talk me through the details and said that his goal was to help people create their dream home. With his infinite patience, expertise and creativity, he guided me through the process and created a house beyond all expectations. Not only is my house truly a showstopper and piece of art, it is also my dream home just as he promised!" - Asha Mevlana - Trans Siberian Orchestra
