Where were you born?

Kansas City, MO

Where is your favorite travel destination?

I’ve got a bad case of wanderlust so it’s hard to pick just one…but I studied abroad in Budapest, Hungary when I was in college, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart!

What’s something you’d still love to learn?

It’s a life goal of mine to be fluent (or at least conversationally fluent) in at least two or three other languages. I’ve put some time in on Spanish and German but I’m pretty sure I’m still at a first-grade level on those LOL!

Describe our company culture in one word?

Transparent

When did you know you wanted to be an architect/designer? (Or whatever you are, if you’re not an architect/designer!)

I took a marketing class in high school in my sophomore year and that was it for me! I love the psychology of consumer behavior and how that translates to the decisions we make every day, no matter how small.

What is something you collect?

I’ve loved turtles since I was a kid, and so I have quite a collection of little turtle figurines that people have picked up for me on vacation.

What is your favorite hobby?

I’m a puzzle nerd, so I can sit down on the weekend and do them for hours – jigsaw, crossword, sudoku, logic – you name it!
