In episode 15 I talk to Sam Krabill who is a Mechanical Engineer for Prater Engineering. She walks us through how a mechanical engineer may walk through a project and the things she notices or responds too about the design and things she does to keep the people in the building comfortable. We joke that it does feel like the hidden design of a building, something that no one really sees or notices but affects us greatly! But as designers she too fell in love in Mechanical Engineering the same ...
In episode 14 I talk to fellow Architect Mike Zumpano. Mike takes us through how he started his path to architecture from the early influence of his dad, but took it and made it his own. Architecture for Mike encompasses so much potential to learn new things with each project. He talks about Architecture as an avenue to not only be curious but to find ways to pair your interests and hobbies outside of the day to day and bring it to your career. A great example of this is when he was able to b...

Episode 10 is a different kind of episode, instead of my regular interviews this is the first Topic Breakout! I have a special guest, my husband Jacob to talk about what it is like to live with a designer. He has been surrounded by design his whole life, thanks to his dad being an architect and being there with me through my entire education and beginning of my career. We talk about all of that and what his perspective has been looking in from the outside.
Jamie Goth sits down with me for Episode 9 and walks me through her story of art, painting, and finding a love for watercolor creations.

In her off time though you will find her testing watercolors, designing greeting cards, customizing pieces for family, and findin...
