“Communities are ever-evolving, and it is an exciting time to watch these communities develop their character in whichever places they inhabit. This is what I love most about being a designer — how can design be both catalyst to communal identity while also providing the backbone necessary to support that identity? I am most passionate about how structures can give agency to the people it interacts with. By doing so, design becomes animated and can hopefully create a more intimate relationship between these people and the place the structure is responding to.”
