ABOUT JAMES J STEWART

James J Stewart Design was founded in 1992. My services include all aspects of producing construction documents for a variety of projects, but my specialty is custom homes. From the design phase to final blueprints, I focus on quality design with reliable service.

I began my career in 1987 after graduating from The Evergreen State College with a degree in Environmental Design. For four years, I worked closely with an architect, developing my knowledge and honing my skills. As a project designer for the firm, I learned to maximize efficiency and quality of design with a heightened attention to detail.

I left the firm in 1991 and took a sabbatical that included travel to Asia and work in Sun Valley Idaho. 

Upon returning to Olympia, I opened my own office, James J Stewart Design Inc., with the founding principle of delivering affordable, quality design with reliable service.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the natural world through photography, hiking, backcountry skiing and racing mountain bikes. I volunteer with the local land trust and other stewardship organizations to protect and restore the amazing Pacific Northwest for future generations.
