He was chosen by Janet Bussell to be a lead designer for Cher's home in Malibu. Rafael also apprenticed under the great celebrity architect, Robert L Earl and adopted many of his design styles while developing his own. He has worked on a countless number of projects in Southern California and is excited to help you with your future dream home. During his free time, Rafael enjoys spending time with his wife and children hiking at the beach. He is also an avid barbecuer!
