Caleb R. Norris – Owner
Bachelor of Arts, Grand Valley State University
Caleb studied architecture at the University of Michigan and finished his degree at Grand Valley State University. Ever since then he has been working in the building and design industry. In 2002 he started working for a northern Michigan builder as their in-house designer and helped create all of their award-winning homes. While there, Caleb saw a huge need in the design industry for affordable quality designs that didn’t sacrifice detail or precision; designs that were timeless and also stayed in-tune with vernacular building methods and materials. To that end, he started Norris Design Productions in 2008 and has continued to offer superior designs for an affordable price. He currently lives in northern Michigan with his wife and kids.
