Bill Ernst is a lover of beauty. Formerly a furniture maker and remodeling contractor, he went on to receive his Masters Degree in Architecture at UC Berkeley. Seeking balance between his professional and personal life, he founded Design Solutions so he could work at his home office in the morning and create beautiful gardens in the afternoon. When the office phone stops ringing (which happens rarely these days) he can frequently be found remodeling some room in his home or building something unique in his woodshop. That is, of course, when he isn't adventuring: kayaking with whales; swimming with dolphins; snorkeling with his wife or playing volleyball on the beach. Now, the quiet hours after sunset are some of his most creative and productive times. Such are the joys of working at home.

He believes all this makes him a better designer... look at his work and decide for yourself!
