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. |

Grand Prize winnerRunner UpFrom Ruins To City, 2020 from AIA on Vimeo. Third PlacePeople's ChoiceThe AIA Film Challenge 2020 invited architects, filmmakers, and storytellers to produce 60- to 90-second documentaries highlighting architects partnering with communities and civic leaders to design a healthy, sustainable, just world that improves peoples’ lives.
Participants produced, shot, and edited documentary-style short films showcasing their Blueprint for Better story to win cash prizes, distribution at film festivals, and exposure on AIA’s online channels, as well as partner film and architecture organizations. A panel of judges made up of architects as well as film and media professionals selected the Grand Prize Winner, the Runner Up, and the Third Place Winner based on the films’ adherence to the prompt, storytelling arc, architectural placement, and technical merit. The People’s Choice Award was selected through votes cast online by the public. The judges and the AIA extend congratulations to the winning filmmakers and project teams. The FLSW Chapter has been named AIA Florida’s Chapter of the Year and was awarded the Anthony “Tony” Pullara Outstanding Chapter Award at the AIA FL Annual Awards ceremony. The ceremony was held virtually on Friday, 11 September 2020. If you were not able to attend our chapter’s Board of Directors encourages everyone to enjoy the entire program below. |
