“My philosophy is to provide innovative design and exceptionally detailed service, as well as to create buildings and spaces that evoke a positive emotional response, improving the environment for future generations.”

Karen E. Putman received her Bachelors of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California and has been involved in the field of architecture for over 35 years. Having studied abroad and traveled extensively, her work displays a genuine authenticity and understanding of people, culture, materials, and art.

At P2 Design, we are inspired by the client’s vision and lifestyle, and integrate them into the perfect custom home. Successful architecture and design is a collaborative effort that combines form, function, space, light and flow to enhance daily living. We offer a full service design process that is dedicated to developing close relationships with clients that in turn translate into creating positive living environments.
