Redirect Designs, is the creation of Sarah & Joseph Ramus, Wife & Husband, Mother & Father, Designer & Builder we know that it takes more than one to create beautiful things. We are always learning how to work better together and carefully push each other to be the best they can be.

Hi I’m Sarah, an aspiring architect. I have taken what some may say the long route to getting my license. I spent 3 years at Portland Community College & Oregon State University “Go Beavers”, to receive an Associates of Architecture, Design and Drafting.

Then I found love, and Northern California. While starting a family here in beautiful Nevada County over 9 years ago. I thankfully worked as a CAD drafter at a cabinet company, dipped my toe into government sector projects with a local family construction company. And the last 5 1/2 years working with my mentor Rebecca Coffman, where I learned way more than what college could teach, working in the real world. My duties were everything drafting, Rebecca was the artist and I was the paintbrush. My job was to take from concept to construction documents and I became proficient at that. I am so grateful to have learned and put in my time alongside an insightful mentor/ “professor”. 

Here we are now, my husband and I going at it on our own. Thankfully we have learned how to communicate, be creative and work together while raising our daughter and son, 3 goats, 8 chickens, 2 dogs, and our farm cats when they want attention. When I’m not cooking, cleaning, or playing with the kids, I enjoy puzzling and writing stories, I would love to be a part of yours as we help and guide you and your family through building a place to call home.

Hello I’m Joe, I was born and raised in the field of construction. During my younger years I drifted into many different trades, having a good time and soaking up tons of knowledge along the way. Unaware at the time I am/was a lifelong learner. 11 years ago I started JR Squared Construction, but soon realized I was just making the motions with no passion. 
Then my wife came into my world, thankfully we had construction in common. she showed me to be more of who I am versus what people want me to be. That I can be happy doing what I want to do. I worked on myself and now I am working on being more creative. I started a YouTube channel (JoeSimple) a few years back, I loved video creating at a young age, taking the opportunity to advance this has been a dream. I get to apply and share the knowledge that I’ve gained over the years to inspire, help, and teach people. Along with making our homestead dreams come true. All the while re-creating JR² to Redirect Designs in order to work along side my wife on our company. 
I enjoy or maybe am addicted to learning new things and testing/applying them into my everyday life and our projects.
When I am not taking care of the homestead chores or building, I am reading, writing, playing on the tractor, or working in the garden. I enjoy cleaning and teaching my kids new things about the world around them. I would enjoy being a guide helping you and your family create a one of a kind project that y’all will enjoy for many years to come.
