Carl & his Human.Our Story: ORIGINS
Hey, I'm Carl and I am really excited to begin sharing the story of how Frank and I founded Visual PNW. When we both lost our corporate architecture jobs during the pandemic, we suddenly found ourselves with a lot of free time on our hands. But instead of feeling defeated, we decided to use our skills, perspectives, and experiences to seek and solve a problem that we were passionate about. After much searching and brainstorming, we identified opportunities in the residential design and construction market and founded Visual in January of 2021.
We are beyond thrilled to share our story with you! For a while now, we've been hard at work behind the scenes, honing our skills and perfecting our craft. And now, we're ready to take on the world! We're actively seeking new home design projects, and we couldn't be more excited to serve the amazing homeowners and builders here in the Pacific Northwest. With your support, we know we can achieve great things. So please, join us on this incredible journey! Together, let's create something truly special.

Culture: Sk8.More
At 44 years Frank and I started Visual and that same year I picked up skateboard for the very first time. Today, I find myself at the skate park 5-7 days a week, and Visual is shaping the future of homes.
Skateboarding has had such a profound impact on me; it's hard to put into words. It has become my "me time," where I actively focus on being present and aware of my thoughts and emotions as they arise. These moments are meditative, and they've had a positive effect on my physical health, despite the occasional torn shoulder or missing skin.
Moreover, skateboarding has connected me with a diverse community of individuals that provide new and interesting perspectives on life. It's about getting outside, learning new skills, and embracing creativity. Every day, it reminds me to put my damn phone down and live in the moment. If my mind and body aren't aligned while skating, the concrete quickly reminds me. I try to carry that mindset beyond the skate park, but sometimes, my thoughts distract me, and I miss out on what's right in front of me. So, I keep skating, meditating, and moving forward. This is the Sk8 More Policy.
Now, you might not skate and that’s just fine, (though we'd love to have you join us if you're interested). Our hope is that you find activities that bring all of these things to your life. At Visual, we aim to create experiences that promote individual physical and mental well-being and foster an incredible community where we can all have fun together.
We've ditched the idea of work being separate from life because, in reality, that's impossible. Life should be fun, so work should be fun too. Creativity is fun. Designing a house should be fun. Building a house should be fun. We're dedicated to building a culture where work and life are interconnected parts of a whole. We firmly believe that life should be fun, and the experience should be equally enjoyable for our team members and clients.
