How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
My father was an engineer and while I toyed following his path I ended up wanting to do something more unique. I then found Architecture and became fascinated in a world I knew little about and almost 15 years later I am still just as fascinated.
What do you do?
I work on a variety of projects and approach each project with discipline, attention to detail, and an understanding of spatial relationships while enjoying the in-depth experience I have gained in both design and project management.
What excites you in the work you do?
Contributing and creating spaces for our community in the built environment is one of the most rewarding jobs I could ask for. I truly look forward to working with my clients and helping them build something that will last a lifetime.
