Jeffrey, a licensed contractor and plumber with over 20 years of experience, built his first home—a Japanese-inspired bungalow in Oakland—in 2001, following seven years of practice at a Zen monastery in Berkeley. His commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail are at the core of our work. Jeffrey personally oversees each project, leveraging a trusted network of subcontractors when needed to ensure the highest standards are met.
I bring 25 years of experience from the Finance industry, where I managed large-scale Internet Marketing campaigns with budgets up to $20MM annually. At Shell Beach Design Build, I not only focus on business development and client relationships but also manage all budgets, ensuring financial transparency and efficiency throughout each project. I have extensive experience negotiating and procuring high-end finishes, helping our clients achieve exceptional results while maximizing value. From contract management to design and procurement, I ensure every detail is handled with precision and care.
Together, as partners in life and business, we deliver a personalized, collaborative experience for every client. Our first project—converting 700 square feet of raw space into a 1-bedroom apartment—sparked our passion for transforming spaces. Currently, we’re converting a garage into an ADU in Richmond and are actively taking on new clients across the East Bay.
