Armed with a Master's in Architecture from the University of Sydney, James combines his top-tier academic background with years of hands-on experience in both residential and commercial design.
The foundation for Reynard Custom Homes was laid in 2019 when James met Jack and Kalyn while working at an architectural design firm in Atlanta. Bonding over a shared passion for creating truly one-of-a-kind custom homes, the trio teamed up to officially launch the company in 2020.
