I believe one's passion is defined by what one does when they are not being paid to do it. For those who know me, they know I have a passion for all things creative and innovative; and I am especially drawn to architecture & design. When I am not working on a project at work, I am usually found at home sketching in my notebook or designing concepts on the computer for my own pleasure. I enjoy studying architectural works by others, thumbing through architecture books & magazines, and discovering new ways to view old ideas. As a creative mindset, I see things differently! I am insatiably curious, and I like to take risks during the concept phase of design in order to explore & discover options that might otherwise go unnoticed. I am always asking "why", and challenging assumptions ... I believe that this is the best method for developing and discovering innovative solutions instead of settling for the expected.I am a very detail oriented person; sometimes to a fault. I learned a long time ago, that typically most people operate from the maxim that "there is never enough time to do things right the first time, but always enough time to do it over". I am a problem solver and critical thinker and thrive in a creative environment around those who share the same desire for architecture and themed environments that I do; I love what I do, and I have a passion for it!
