Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
My parents were both very naturally creative and we grew up with an artistic spirit in the house.
2.
I went to community college for sculpture, but I realized I wanted to do something bigger than clay.
3.
I transferred to ASU and jumped right into the architecture program and my first design studio.
4.
I immediately loved design because there’s always an element of change in every new project you tackle.
5.
I went to graduate school in Los Angeles and decided I’d found my new home.
6.
I started working at Interior Architects here in downtown Los Angeles.
7.
I stay engaged with a lot of my creative hobbies: right now I’m restoring a classic car with my dad!
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Teachers:
Maybe you’d be best suited to be a model builder, rather than an architect.
How I responded:
Roadblocks are real! I’ll always remember my third design studio class, when the teacher told me I’d be better suited to be a model builder. That could’ve crushed me, but I actually think it was good to hear—I don’t like to fail, so it refocused me on my work. Failure is just a part of success, so unless you’re hearing noise that awakens the realization that you actually don’t like what you’re doing, just use those words to motivate you to keep going.
