We keep the studio intentionally boutique so your project receives principal‑led care at every step—clear decisions, steady coordination, and continuity from concept through construction.
Around that core, we assemble a team specific to your site and goals—engineers, builders, fabricators and consultants—keeping the process nimble, rigorous, and tailored to you.

Bryan founded ONOMA around the belief that a home should be a meaningful expression of identity, shaped through careful attention to people, place, materials, and construction.
His work combines design leadership with a strong understanding of how buildings are documented, coordinated, and built. He remains personally involved throughout each project, guiding the work from its earliest ideas through construction and completion.
Bryan is licensed in Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and New York and supports projects across North America through NCARB reciprocity.
