Favorite Thing About Your Job
I love puzzles. More specifically, I love designing clean, simple solutions to puzzles. The fact that these puzzles arise daily and at dramatically different scales – from a large-scale urban design concept to a window jamb detail – keeps me on my toes and excited for the next challenge!
Favorite Thing to Do
A sunny afternoon with friends, food, and a Frisbee in Volunteer Park.
Three Things You Can’t Live Without
Great friends, great music, great food.
