What excites you about your career here at CLR?

Working with such a fun and talented group of people to create inventive and boundary pushing designs! Animal conservation is close to my heart and being able to support the facilities that are leading the way in conservation through design is a dream come true.

What do you like about exhibit design?

Exhibit design provides the opportunity to connect the public with animals they may have never encountered before and create lasting memories and empathy towards the animal. In a world where many species are in decline, it’s more important than ever to do what we can to help keep these beautiful animals alive and thriving, and a big part of that is giving people a reason why they should care.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekend?

When I am not working on one of my hundred half done creative projects I love to get out and explore the city! I love to wander through vintage shops and bookstores, and of course, get an over-priced coffee along the way.

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

Growing up our house was called “The Zoo” because of all the furry and feathered friends I had in my care. Go figure this is where I would end up!
