12/12 Architects & Planners is ...
  • Proud of our project history.
  • Appreciative of our strong client base of repeat customers.
  • Thankful for every project we've completed.
  • Excited to work with new clients.

And here's what a few of our clients have to say:

"I have worked with Cinda on multiple projects and she has proven to be a reliable, talented, and diligent architect. I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking an architect and believe she is especially talented at designing efficient usage of space, for projects of any size."
     - Stuart Hanson, Owner, Hanson & White Builders

"Thank you so much for the kitchen redesign work you completed for my house.  My wife and I are pleased with the final layout and the sketches you furnished.  I am impressed by your professionalism and the speed with which you completed each step of the process.  I am excited to begin the project and watch your plans turn into our new kitchen."
     - David and Laura

"I used Cinda's architectural skills for plans for a remodeling project in my home. My general contractor was very pleased with the results and the sub-contractors had very few questions about the project since the plans were so detailed and accurate. I would definitely use her skills again if another project arises."
     - Candice

"I also wanted to add what a pleasure it was working with you. You definitely met our expectations and we couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions and your expertise towards creating our final plans. It was very easy to contact you and have you come by when necessary. We appreciate all the work you did to help make our home a success!"
     - Ed and Cathy

"In her capacity as our architect, she has developed and managed our construction projects superlatively, meeting all deadlines and working well with the various municipal entities, contractors, and project staff. She provides recommendations to solve complex situations. I can rely on her to assist the College in every way--she never lets us down.”
     - Kelly Moore, Executive Director, Westwood College

"Let me start off by saying thank you, for everything.  You exceeded our expectations.  The plans for our addition are absolutely beautiful, we couldn't be happier.  It still amazes me that you were able to sift through all of our crazy ramblings and flighty ideas to come up with something so perfect - unbelievable!  I'd also like to tell you that my daughter is wild about her new room, thanks for making that something really special for her.  You spent a lot of time with us on this project.....you went above and beyond, and for that we are grateful.  Thank you."
     - Bryan and Lisa

"Cinda addressed our needs and kept the design in line with the existing house. She was helpful to the contractor and had good design ideas. We would use her again and refer her to others."
     - Mike and Jan

"The original portion of our home, built in 1928, has beautiful cove ceilings and arch ways, however, the remainder of the house was built in varying stages and to varying degrees of competency.  With all old homes there are the traditional challenges of sagging floors and walls that are neither plumb nor square.  12/12 Architects created for us a true Master Suite Addition that beautifully connected with the ‘newer” portions of our house, and designed solutions for our problems in a creative way.  Cinda listened to what we wanted, and what we hoped for, and somehow managed to turn those vague thoughts into something REAL that turned out far better than we hoped!"
    -Wendi and Bill

"Cinda has a tremendous talent for bringing organization to a space and creating order out of chaos, down to the tiniest detail.  Her smart use of space and clean lines created an openness I didn't know was possible.  I know that I can look to Cinda for an honest, refreshing perspective.  She is an excellent listener and problem solver - always bringing a fresh angle to the issue at hand."
     -Erika

"When we decided to add a small “suite” to our basement, we immediately went to Cinda for advice.  She had ideas that I had never considered!  Cinda can see things before they are even built.  She is incredibly gifted!  And our project was pulled together perfectly using her plans.  She even helped us apply paint to the new walls.  We appreciated her insights greatly and if we ever have another building project, she is the first person I would call!"
     - Ben and Melody

"Cinda’s passion for architecture and design, paired with a genuine passion for life, make her a joy to work with."
     - Amy

"Our 1844 Greek Revival suffered from several additions, bad renovations, and many decorating horrors left over from the 1970s. 12/12 Architects saw through the muddled mess, creating wonderful renovation options for the challenging bathrooms and laundry room.  Despite wavy floors and lumpy walls, they were exacting with details and innovative in the use of space, yet respectful of the house’s age and character.  12/12 Architects went above and beyond to provide beautiful and budget-conscious designs."
   -Cris

"Cinda was an invaluable source of information and expertise during the design and construction of resource areas used by students at Westwood College. Her knowledge of space utilization and her experience in creating eye-catching designs makes Cinda a terrific professional to have on one's team. She is detail-oriented, knowledgeable of local codes and requirements, and committed to providing excellent value for the services she provides. I would recommend Cinda without hesitation."
   - Kris Ginley, Director of Education, Westwood College

"Cinda - I just wanted to pass along a positive referral to you from one of our customers.  He says you were an absolute dream to work with.  You did great work, he got his permit without any problems, and you are really one-of-a-kind.  He says he'll refer you to everyone he knows, and we will too.  Thank you."
  - Mary, Handyman Matters
