What do you enjoy most about your job?

I enjoy so many things that it’s hard to put into a few sentences, but the thing I enjoy most is seeing drawings translated into being built on site, noticing the errors, and helping to find solutions. I also enjoy working with my great colleagues.

Which programs do you use the most?

I currently use BIM 360, Asite, and AutoCAD the most.

What inspires you in architecture?

What inspires me the most in architecture are cities where the juxtaposition between old and new is celebrated. Without the character of the old, the modern is too sleek and minimal and without the modern, the city becomes stuck in the past. A synergy of the two is what creates a city’s personality and beauty.

What recharges you on weekends?

A very long walk in the park (preferably in the sun).
