What do you like best about being an architect?
That you can create a physical, tangible outcome to someone’s dream.

What made you want to be an architect when you grew up?
I found architecture later in my educational life. It suited me best since it allowed me to combine my creative desires with technical abilities. I have always been a closet painter.

What is your favorite thing about working at Continuum?
It is a little big firm that can create an impactful blow without you knowing that is coming…the element of surprise.

What do you love about Milwaukee?
It is green and located on a lake. It is a mini big city—many amenities are easily accessible. It feels like a big family; everyone is only two links away from someone else.
