About
The engineer behind
every set of drawings.
Bay Area structural and architectural engineering with direct access, plain-language guidance, and care at every scale.
Bay Area structural and architectural engineering with direct access, plain-language guidance, and care at every scale.
I started this practice because Bay Area homeowners and builders deserve an engineer who picks up the phone, explains the "why" behind every calculation, and stays on a project from first sketch to final inspection.
Good engineering should feel like a steady hand — not a black box. Every client should walk away understanding their structure and confident in the path forward.
SG Designs & Developer Corp is a woman-owned and woman-led firm — both our CEO and President are women engineers directing the practice.

"Good engineering disappears into the finished work. My job is to make sure nothing about your project ever surprises you."
You'll get a real answer, not a hedge. If a project isn't a fit, I'll tell you. If something on a drawing needs to change, I'll explain why in plain language — not behind a wall of jargon.
Every load path, every detail, every calculation starts with one question: will this protect the people who live, work or stand inside this structure? Life-safety isn't a feature — it's the floor.
A small renovation doesn't need the same process as a four-unit development. I match the depth of engineering — and the size of the deliverable — to what the project actually needs.
Tell me about your project. I'll respond personally within one business day.
