Interior projects would be something I’m interested in the future for sure.

What do you hope to see in the future in the world of architecture and design?

I can imagine the making of equipment in homes that can repair themselves or tell you what needs to be fixed with little or no assistance from humans.

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

I was 12 years old and won a drawing competition to hand sketch the front exterior elevation of the new high school that was going to be built in NH. It was then hung in the entry of the school and was able to hear kids and teachers say amazing words of affirmations about it.
