What excites you about your career here at CLR?

The level of detail that CLR works at with in terms of animal and human experience is something that drew me to want to work here. I’m excited to learn more about how architecture that makes a difference at varying scales is achievable in practice. Then in the day to day I look forward to blending illustrative and digital processes to create architecture that is focused on experience and is experimental in it’s innovation for the future.

What do you like about exhibit design?

I enjoy the variety! There’s always a new animal with species specifications and differing site conditions. I’m also passionate about Habitat loss being one of the biggest conservation obstacles. Therefore, being able to recreate or innovate exhibits is an opportunity to get visitors to care and learn about animals, but just as importantly the places and conditions that make up their homes.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekend?

I enjoy a lot of seasonal activities and being outside doing activities like hiking and ice skating. But I also can often be found at the gym, reading, bingeing movies, antiquing, (attempting) to learn languages, etc. Basically, accumulating random hobbies and random stuff.

Tell us something fun or funny about yourself that most people don’t know.

Before I leave the house, I have to consider the danceability of my clothes, for some reason ability to dance to Rasputin is the benchmark, even if it’s going to a scenario like a meeting or presentation where dancing will never occur I have to be ready to bust a move.
