The best days at work are either at the beginning of a project or toward the end of a project. At the beginning, there are days where we hold visioning sessions to envision the future of a project, when clients talk about their needs and start to picture how they are going to work in or inhabit their future space. At the end, there are days when construction is almost complete and we walk the spaces with the client to show them the results of our collective efforts.
I work closely with my team to complete projects and fulfill clients' needs and solve their problems.
