My Passion
I chose this career path because I wanted to help design experiences for the public. I enjoyed the process of studying patterns and context in the environment and translating that to how a person moves and experiences a space.
“You have a great amount of transferable skills that you learn in school that apply to many design careers. Take the chance to explore roles outside of the traditional firm setting if you are undecided about where to start your career.”
Q&A
What advice can you give to young professionals who are struggling with the traditional career path of architecture? (Ie. Feeling like creative outlets are limited.)
“The creative outlets are out there. You have to tap into what makes you passionate in general and use that as a start to fuel your creativity. I usually do my best design work when I am able to pour myself out in my non-design creative endeavors.”
Who inspires or motivates you? How do you remain motivated?
“I have an amazing group of mentors that inspires me today. My friends and my family motivate me and remind me of my why often. Having a great support system around me helps me stay focused on getting licensed and pursuing my goals.”
