About New Leaf & Hallie M. Bowie

New Leaf Home Design has a strong combination of training and experience in residential additions and renovations. I will bring this expertise to your project, and together we can create a solution that meets your needs and adds beauty to your home.

That means that my college education included extensive training in design, construction systems and materials, structural design, and building codes. Following that, I completed three years of internship in architectural offices and then in 1991 passed a rigorous two-day license exam. I have specialized in residential work since 1993.
