Get to know Joe

What is the best part of your job?

The best part of my job is being able to positively impact lives by creating spaces for people to live, work, and grow in every day. There is something incredibly rewarding about designing environments that become part of someone’s daily rhythm; places that shape experiences, foster connections, and evolve with the people who inhabit them. Being able to blend creativity with purpose, and to see those ideas come to life in built form, is what keeps me inspired.

What is on your bucket list?

Something that has been on my bucket list for quite a while now is skiing in the Swiss Alps and backpacking in Switzerland. As someone who loves both travel and architecture, I have always been drawn to the idea of experiencing the landscape and design culture there. One building I am eager to see in person is the Pavillion Le Corbusier in Zurich. It is the last building designed by the iconic architect, and the only one constructed entirely from glass and steel.

Who is your biggest hero?

My biggest hero is my father. He sacrificed so much for me growing up, while providing an amazing childhood and making sure I was well equipped to succeed in my future.
