Hi, I’m Taylor and I have been working in the AEC industry since 2016. I originally attended college for Graphic Design, but made the switch to Architecture after studying historic buildings and learning more about the career, finding it to be the perfect mix of creative and technical skills with a practical application. During my academic pursuit I was fortunate to participate in study tours to major cities through classes or independent study and acquired an internship with WSU’s Rural Communities Design Initiative (RCDI). Although I had initially set out to be artistic and design oriented, upon entering professional practice I realized that I was very drawn to the technical challenges of figuring out how to make a design buildable. My love for learning new information and skills keeps me energized and fulfilled as I work in an industry that endlessly exposes me to various experiences and creative approaches to problem solving.
