What makes architecture and design in Tampa Bay unique or interesting:
Ultimately, design culture is made by the people who live in a city. Working with the City of St Petersburg, I’ve been inspired by some of the public servants and their investment in the public realm. Working with a young team there, there’s a sense of optimism that energizes me as an architect. And as a resident, there are ample spaces to plug-in, stay informed, and engage as both a citizen and design professional.
Keys to a Successful Project:
A successful project is when those we serve see us as stewards and partners in turning their visions into realities. Innovation and impact in the design work can always be traced back to mutual trust, respect, and humility displayed by everyone on the team.
