At my childhood home in Deer Park. My parents built the house and I’ve lived there my entire life.
What is your beverage of choice?
Olipop, specifically the strawberry vanilla flavor.
What is a hobby you spend a lot of time on outside of work?
I recently spent a month working on knitting a scarf that is now becoming a pillowcase (it was too short and I’m not very good at knitting.)
What motivated you to become an architect?
I was fascinated by how architecture can become the culmination of so many different things (culture, music, literature, art, etc.)
Ideal superpower?
Teleportation. I get impatient in traffic.
What is the best trip you've taken?
When I spent 3 weeks learning how to watercolor paint in Greece.
