What Prompted You To Become An Architect? I have always been fascinated by designing and building, and by assembling components to form functional, habitable space. Instinctively I always knew that the success of any project is based on the relationship between the space itself and the functions it houses – we call that “supporting the mission.” I am very motivated by the knowledge that the thoughtful planning and design we do here at DNA has a pervasive and long-lasting impact on our clients. What Do You Consider Your Greatest Professional Achievement? Without doubt, maintaining this firm with high caliber personnel and challenging projects for such a long time. It has been an achievement that also has offered me tremendous personal satisfaction, because we have a long list of satisfied clients, many of who call us for second or follow-up projects. What Changes Have You Seen in the Industry, and How Have You Contributed to these Changes? The industry has changed significantly! First, computers have sped up drawing time and so reduced project time frames considerably. Second, advances in technology have also affected the materials we design for and how components are assembled. Almost daily we hear of new products and processes that bring value to our designs. I think of these changes as “the future, here today,” and I make sure that my staff is up to date with the benefits they offer.
