You were great to work with; I think we were on the same page from the start. We had some rough ideas about the house but you really helped us visualize them better. You then integrated these smoothly with your own original ideas to produce the house drawings. Overall, the process was very orderly and timely and of course we are psyched about our house; it is everything we could've asked for. We still have all the original drawings from the initial sketches through the final plan. I think they make a nice souvenir and are fun to go through to relive the process occasionally.

This was my first experience with designing and building a home. Working with Will was a pleasure and a joy. He brought both his own creativity, along with empathy and an ability to listen to my needs and desires and put them all together into what turned out to be a wonderful, unique and exciting home.

Much more than a drafting service, Will's attention to detail and appreciation of fine quality puts a comforting spin on the task of good design. Working with him was and is an enjoyable experience.

The real way you stood out when we embarked on this journey was that you listened to our priorities and kept things simple and efficient, streamlining the options that were the best translation of the awkward arrangement of spaces the previous owners had left behind.
From a cavernous laundry room and a dark and gloomy large bedroom, we now have a wonderful bathroom that feels airy but not empty, functional storage space, and two ample bedrooms with a beautiful hallway that elegantly connects to the stately wooded walls of the living room. Much better flow of foot traffic, energy and utility!
Thanks for your design work; now the house is something to be proud of!

Will Dixon worked with us to build out our office space upstairs in the Balzhiser Hubbard Building, formerly the Eugene Public Library. Will took the basics of what we wanted for our office, worked with us through several versions, expanded and challenged our thinking, helping us to see the potential in a space that was literally an empty shell when we first saw it. The result is we get to come to work in an environment that is one of the best designed and beautifully finished offices in the Eugene area.
Our experience in working with Will was very positive--he listened to our needs and wants, kept us well informed, and was a great liaison with the contractors involved. Will also recommended an interior designer to collaborate with, whose work perfectly complimented the initial vision and final design of our project.
Will gets our highest recommendation for professionalism, thoughtfulness, vision and talent.

Will has been an invaluable resource for us. We communicate frequently on projects at all phases of construction; I find him very easy to work with, quite knowledgeable, and he understands how the entire design\build process works. What makes Will a pleasure to work with is his ability to take others’ expertise and know-how and apply it into his design. The give and take between designer and builder is necessary for a project to be successful, and Will excels at this.

The first word that comes to mind when I think of working with Will is ease. This was my first building project and Will made me feel comfortable in this new realm; he always took the time to explain my options and the language of building to me. Will was very receptive to exploring ideas of aesthetic and functional design with me and drew out many variations of the plans before coming to a final decision. I now have a beautiful light-filled studio to work in where there was once an empty lot, and I am very happy!
