Celebrating the Expertise Behind Our Designs: David Moore & Steve Collins
At our architectural firm, great design is never the work of one person alone. Every successful project is the result of collaboration, dedication, and a team of professionals who bring ideas to life through technical excellence and attention to detail.
Today, we’re proud to recognize two individuals who have become invaluable members of our team: David Moore and Steve Collins, our Senior Draftsmen and trusted partners to our lead designers.
Experience That Strengthens Every Project
With more than 30 years of drafting experience, David Moore brings a wealth of technical knowledge, industry insight, and problem-solving expertise to every project he touches. During his six years with our firm, his consistency, professionalism, and commitment to excellence have made him a key contributor to our continued growth and reputation for quality.
Fun Fact: I’ve been fortunate to travel with a band all over the east coast and as far as Texas and Honduras.
“As a small family style design firm, our success depends on every team member working together and supporting one another.
David is a cornerstone of that culture at SDG. No matter the project size or complexity, he is always willing to step in, lend a hand, and help move projects forward.
With years of drafting experience, David brings a well-rounded understanding of both technical drafting and architectural design. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and dependable work ethic make him an invaluable contributor to the successful completion of countless projects.
Just as importantly, his calm, steady demeanor under pressure makes him a trusted mentor to our junior drafters, who know they can rely on him for guidance and support.
Whether collaborating with fellow team members, assisting clients, or solving complex design challenges, David consistently demonstrates professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to excellence.
He is one of the pillars of our team, and we are grateful for his dedication and look forward to many more years of working alongside him.”

Likewise, Steve Collins brings over 30 years of drafting experience to our team. Throughout his five years with the firm, he has made a lasting impact through his technical expertise, reliability, and dedication to precision. His ability to transform design concepts into clear, accurate construction documents has been instrumental in bringing our projects to life.

“Steve is one of the hardest-working and most dependable people I’ve had the opportunity to work with. As a decorated military veteran, he brings a level of discipline, integrity, and commitment that is immediately evident in everything he does.
His no-nonsense approach, strong work ethic, and willingness to jump right into any project set him apart. He doesn’t wait to be told what needs to be done, he takes initiative, tackles challenges head-on, and gets the job done with professionalism and determination. No task is beneath him, and no challenge seems to rattle him.
What I respect most is his ability to lead through action. He brings accountability, focus, and a mission-first mindset to every job, and his reliability is truly second to none. SDG is extremely fortunate to have someone of his caliber on board.”

The Backbone of the Design Process
While clients often see the finished designs and renderings, there is an enormous amount of technical work that happens behind the scenes. David and Steve play a vital role in turning creative concepts into detailed, buildable plans that contractors and builders can confidently follow.
Working closely with our lead designers, they help coordinate project details, refine design solutions, maintain drawing accuracy, and ensure projects move forward smoothly from concept through construction documentation.
Their ability to identify challenges early, develop practical solutions, and maintain high standards across every set of drawings makes them essential members of our team.
More Than Draftsmen
While much of their work happens behind the scenes, the impact David and Steve have on our projects is visible in every successful design we deliver. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence help transform ideas into reality and strengthen our team every day.
Thank You, David and Steve
