How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
Growing up I had the privilege of traveling the world. From the Great Pyramids of Giza, and the Hagia Sophia in Turkey, all made such an impression on how the built environment can impact the way people perceive the space around them.
What do you do?
I work with a team of talented architects and interior designers to design habitable, sustainable spaces that make people happy. We call it “Humanizing Design”.
What excites you in the work you do? Who or what inspires you professionally?
I love being consumed by the design process and to see the drawings and models I’ve spent many months developing come to life…it gets me every time.

I had the privilege of working on the new Tennessee State Museum and spent many years working on the design and construction of this significant civic building. Now I have the joy of my little girls interacting with the museum their mommy built.
