Who we are
Shepherd and Stone is a drafting and design studio that creates clean, buildable plans for homeowners, contractors, and designers who want clarity, speed, and style.
Why We Started
We started Shepherd and Stone to fill a gap in the building and design world. People had ideas but no clear way to get them on paper — or through permitting.
Our goal? Turn sketches, photos, and concepts into accurate, builder-ready plans that move projects forward. Whether you're renovating or starting from scratch, we help you design smarter from day one.
Our Approach
We blend design sensitivity with technical precision. That means we know how to make your ideas look good and pass plan reviews. From space planning to 3D visuals, we work with you (and your team) to create complete, coordinated, buildable plan sets for yourself or your client.
Who We Work With
Homeowners who want design support without a full architecture firm
Contractors who need on-call drafting and clean permit sets
Businesses who need reliable drafting support to meet tight deadlines
Interior designers who polished plans and elevations
Real estate investors and flippers who need quick concept layouts
