What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
For me, I love being in the zone of problem-solving. Whether it's a design issue, a building code issue within the design context, or even wrestling with my CAD software when it doesn't cooperate.
I just really love problem-solving. I also like that the people I work with—my clients, the engineers—appreciate that about me. They really look to me to come up with solutions that are buildable and meet the design goals.
