How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
Wendy has always had a passion for the arts and creating beautiful things. Focusing on design development and detailing, she loves to bring projects to life, making a concept buildable and working with other disciplines to bring a project to fruition.

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?
By far the best professional moment for Wendy was when her husband read over the phone that she had passed the ARE and was registered in her home state of Ohio. Over the moon! Everything else that has happened, has sprung from that accomplishment.
