My name is Paul Perlman and I am a retired structural engineer who probably should have been an architect — or a career coach! I think this is why I am so committed to creating an authentic life, both for myself and my clients.

Along the way, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the psychology of architecture, informed by my experience designing, building and remodeling homes. I have been particularly inspired by the book, A Pattern Language, in designing homes that support our overall well-being. You can explore my home designs here and read my books here.

I have also been inspired by the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory, which first helped me discover my creative strengths and interests twenty-five years ago, after 30 years in the wrong career. This inspired me to build own career coaching business, which you can read more about here.

If you'd like to talk further—about energy efficient homes or finding your ideal career—just shoot me a note in the form below. I look forward to connecting with you!
