Why did you go into the AEC industry?

As soon as I finished school, I got a job as a graphics assistant at a wastewater civil engineering firm. By that time, I already knew that I probably didn't have a flourishing career in graphic design, but the engineering industry was a stable place to be, and graphics meant working in the marketing department! I went from creating icons for membrane bioreactors to graphic icons for process flow diagrams—and I guess I was hooked. This eventually led to crafting proposals, coordinating, and managing. Being a part of creating something, whether a pump station or a hospital building, and the process of developing a concept through to reality is exciting! After spending a few years at an architecture firm, I found my way to Degenkolb.

Little Known Fact

I'll pretty much try anything to eat, once. Also, I'm very competitive. Two very different but important things to note.

Question of the Day

What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?

I'd own restaurant/s (which is a dangerous business), designing both the menu items and the interior.
