Minette grew up with both parents practicing architecture, so the love of design and craft came early and naturally for her. Raised in the South, Minette has now spent the second half of her life living in the West for the wide open spaces and varied landscapes. She is well versed in commercial and residential work with experience in planning, design and construction of both project types. Minette holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Tennessee and Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Arizona. Her love of the mountains keeps her busy in the Roaring Fork Valley with the abundance of outdoor pursuits that she enjoys with her family.
