Dan Garber, AIA | Fergus Garber Architects
Dan Garber’s true love is design. Finding the right architecture to express his clients’ lifestyles and support how they want to live brings him great enjoyment and satisfaction. Dan approaches every project as the development and refinement of an architectural narrative. The design is a story of who a client is and how they want to live in a home they will call their own for many years.

La Mesa
Jeremy Freeman, AIA | Freeman Design Group
Jeremy’s interest in architecture started, as you might expect, playing with LEGO bricks when he was young. As his interest in drawing, sketching, and painting grew, he kept laser-focused on what he wanted to do through his education.
Jeremy has worked primarily in residential throughout his career. First, working in multifamily in D.C. for several years, then transitioned to custom single-family residential when working in Cincinnati. At this time, Jeremy fell in love with the unique aspect of every project and every client in the custom residential field. Getting to know the clients and how to craft a perfect house that fits the clients and their specific needs is a personal joy for Jeremy. With the vast amount of housing needed in California, his desire has expanded beyond just single-family homes and is getting back into the various options of multi-family in the Bay Area. Outside of work, Jeremy enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids.
Jeremy holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Texas, Arlington.
