WHY DID YOU JOIN AIA SEATTLE?

In my  15 years in Miami, I was part of a great community of architects, interior designers and hospitality clients and friends.  My desire to continue to be involved and grow in the Seattle community led me to the AIA Seattle. I still remember my first visit to the center where I was warmly welcomed by Kimber.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF AIA TO YOU?

To me the value is in the member and very active community that supports AIA Seattle. Throughout the year there is a  fantastic lineup of programs, activities and social events.

WHAT RELATIONSHIPS HAVE YOU CREATED?

During the last couple of years I’ve created great connections through the community. I am particularly honored to be  a part of the Membership Steering Committee as an Allied Member.

 

 

WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?

I just finished working on Kirkland Urban and Kirkland Uptown a mixed-use office, retail, entertainment and residential development – an amazing new addition to Kirkland’s downtown.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING?

I’m an architectural and interior design photographer, with a background in art direction and business. Capturing the world as I see it.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TODAY?

Volunteering at my son’s school.

WHERE IS THE FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING OR CONSTRUCTION HEADED?

I think is headed into a more inclusive, conscious and exciting moment in history. With better use of technology, materials and the environment.

CAN DESIGN SAVE THE WORLD?

Most definitely – we all as a community can.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO CONTRIBUTE FROM YOUR WORK?

I want to create images that can transport you in time and space.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEATTLE-AREA STRUCTURE?

It’s a hard choice for with so much history and beauty, but I think I have to go with my first love, the Public library.

IF YOU COULD SUM UP YOUR OUTLOOK ON LIFE IN A BUMPER STICKER, WHAT WOULD IT SAY?

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.
