Owner Biography

My life’s passion for home design began very young. In my free time outside of school and competitive sports, I would spend countless hours designing homes on my parents Mac. Although growing up in the Piedmont, it only took a few family trips to the Outer Banks and the Appalachian Mountains to appreciate the unmatched natural beauty that North Carolina has to offer.

After graduating from NC State University, my wife and I decided we wanted to move back to her hometown in the Outer Banks, Ocracoke. She was offered a teaching position at the school and I was offered the opportunity to run the local surf shop. During my years running the surf shop, I was also able to pursue my passion for home design by working with locals on renovations and home design projects. Those successful experiences are what prompted me to start my own home design business, MB Home Designs.

MB Home Designs specializes in custom home design and 3D visualization services tailored to each client’s unique lifestyle and vision. From full custom builds to remodels and additions, I work closely with homeowners and contractors to create thoughtful, functional designs that feel both personal and timeless. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of North Carolina, I strive to design spaces that feel connected to their environment and surroundings. My focus is on translating ideas into clear, buildable plans while providing realistic renderings that help clients confidently move forward with their projects.

Commitment to North Carolina

I am committed to creating homes that feel rooted in their surroundings, respecting local architecture, climate, and lifestyle. By drawing inspiration from North Carolina’s natural beauty and regional charm, each design is thoughtfully crafted to feel authentic, functional, and enduring.

My goal is to design homes that not only serve the people who live in them, but also honor the place they’re built. Through careful planning and collaboration, I strive to create spaces that contribute positively to the communities and environments they become part of.
