In 2004 Wes Edwards started his own company doing commercial and residential projects throughout Idaho.  His first year saw amazing success as his reputation as a skilled and talented architect spread.  In January of 2005, David and Wes decided to join forces and continue the momentum that Wes had started by renaming their company thus creating Ruby Edwards Architecture & Design, P.A..  Ruby|Edwards now concentrates on providing responsible, energy efficient, and extremely personalized professional design services to a wide variety of client types throughout the northwest.
