The decision to pursue my own architecture business all stems from my childhood, I grew up in a really lovely home with two brothers and a forest next to the house. And we would spend a lot of time doing what boys do.
I always had this kind of vision that I was going to be an adventurer of sorts. Going through school, I was probably not the best behaved, but there was one subject where a teacher took a shine to me, and that was graphic communication. It's very precise and I really enjoyed it. And from that moment on, I had a very straightforward answer for any grown-up that asked me, ‘What are you going to be when you grow up?’
My path to becoming an architect and founding my own business was not a conventional one… it was a journey marked by chaos and mistakes. I'd describe my adventurous spirit as defiance. I feel defiant against our industry's "best practices", which are typically tailored for large-scale, commercial projects. I believe there's room to revolutionize these standards to support smaller-scale projects that design spaces to be more unique and adaptable for real homeowners and families. Nobody's managed to do it yet… so why shouldn’t we be the ones to do it?
