What do you like best about your job?
I love to work with clients conceptualizing ideas, solving problems through architecture, and creating space that people have a reaction to—feel safe, motivated, relaxed, or creative.
How do you maintain balance?
My perennial garden is my sanity; it lets me totally zone out.
What do like best about working at Continuum?
The people I get to meet and work with.
