Favorite Parts Of Working In The Architecture Industry As A Design Professional
Blake enjoys the tangible nature of the design and construction industry, finding fulfillment in seeing a project evolve "from pen to paper idea" into a completed, "grand big built thing." Unlike other industries where one might not experience the direct outcome of their efforts, this profession allows one to "really put yourself inside of that project" and visualize all the hard work in a concrete way.

What do you enjoy most about your industry?
What I enjoy most about the industry is starting with a project, a pen-to-paper idea. It involves general planning and then following that all the way through until you have a grand, big built thing.
Architecture offers a very tangible end result. In many other industries, like closing a sale, you don't get to walk into the thing you've been working on for years and months.
Being able to put yourself inside of a project you've worked on is a unique and special way to visualize your efforts in a tangible built thing. It's not something you get in other industries.
