Coffee Talk 

Stephanie McPherson

How long have you been with your current firm and what is your position?
Studio+ 3 years 
Construction Administrator | Architect 
What is your must have item? 
Day Planner / Calendar and Moleskine Journal. I have tried paperless, but it is not for me. I write everything down; I highlight and color code different tasks, meetings, errands and even days off. I use the Moleskine Journal to sketch, write project notes, list of things to do, and document site visits and field observations.
Favorite song?
Boys of Summer by Don Henley
Favorite quote?
“Make room for things that matter by removing everything that doesn’t” - Brian Gardner
What makes you passionate about your daily work?
I love being part of the solution and consider myself a problem solver along with a people pleaser. I challenge myself to beat or meet deadlines to keep the information flowing from the design team to the contractor. I also enjoy working in a team setting where we collaborate on resolutions to problems.
