Origin and Personal Connection
Paul’s journey in construction began as a teenager, building homes with his father. This hands-on experience spans residential homes to apartment complexes. After graduating from the University of Oregon, with a BS in Graphic Design and a BFA in Applied Art, Paul initially aimed to become an art teacher. However the 1980s job market did not align with that dream. Instead, Paul returned to construction, blending a passion for art and design with hands-on building experience.
After moving and starting a family in the Seattle area, Paul worked as a contractor before receiving a pivotal job offer in Portland, Oregon. Despite traveling back and forth from Seattle to Portland for nine months, where family still resided, the move marked the start of a new chapter. This unique background laid the foundation for what would become Skandia Design.
Outside of work, Paul enjoys painting, exploring art, writing, and traveling to visit his grandchildren! These interests reflect a deep appreciation for creativity and family, which influences the way we approach our work at Skandia Design.
