Why did you choose a career in architectural design?

To gain a better understanding on how the built environment can celebrate our everyday life, and impact the society in which it exists. 

Travel makes me a better architect; being exposed to new contexts, seeing unfamiliar opportunities, realizing alternate solutions to common challenges

What is the best design advice you’ve been given?

Never ignore your design instincts and don’t be afraid to challenge them.    

What is your favorite part of the design process?

The moment you see your design ideas become reality on the job site.
