Where is your favorite travel destination?

Italy is a place I’ll never get tired of visiting – I look forward to going back again and again!

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

I studied Italian for many years and used to speak it more consistently, but after finishing my studies, I stopped using it as much. I’d love to start practicing again and work toward becoming fluent.

Describe Mancini’s company culture in one word?

Innovative.

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

I hope the future of design places a stronger emphasis on longevity over trend-driven approaches. While trends can bring fresh ideas, they often prioritize short-term appeal over lasting value. There’s something powerful about design that improves with age! I’d like to see innovation balanced with restraint, creating work that enhances the long-term experience of people and place rather than simply reflecting the moment.

When did you know you wanted to be an architect/designer?

When I was younger, I used my brothers’ Legos to build houses, focusing on floor plans and furniture layouts. That’s where my interest in design first began!

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Stay curious and keep learning – growth comes from remaining open to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives.

What is your favorite hobby?

Pilates!

Any other interesting fact about you?

I’m currently in the process of obtaining my Irish citizenship!
