When you build a beautiful building, people love it. And the most sustainable building in the world is the one that’s loved.

A career is a job you love, right? That's what a career should be. If you're in a job that you hate, you should quit. That's the way I look at it. I'm in a job that I love so I'm going to make it my career.

The Internet has created an incredible democratization of the architecture industry.

If you focus on design, you can call yourself a designer. If you focus on the implementation of your design, you can call yourself an architect.

When your focus is social change and not financial change why wouldn't you want to share that openly? Innovation only succeeds when it's shared.

A true architect is not an artist but an optimistic realist. They take a diverse number of stakeholders, extract needs, concerns, and dreams, then create a beautiful yet tangible solution that is loved by the users and the community at large. We create vessels in which life happens.
