An arid beauty A brief glance at a few projects that awakened the architect (and human) in me. Arriving at Arcosanti last night stitched together a scene for me. I have been in places of awe surrounded by the most stark spaces. Well, initially stark. By ‘stark’ I mean seemingly simple, somewhat desolate…

Life in the desert “Don’t worry, the tarantulas are harmless.” For the most part, I am in no way, shape, or form a planner. I have no cute, book-like planner, and rarely use my calendar app (gasp, I know). But, sometimes even the most spontaneous adventures require a little planning. …

An easel and rainbow sprinkles Making room for reminders I’ve had multiple people ask me, “Are you the type of person that has really high expectations for this time?” To which I answer, genuinely but with a tinge of embarrassment, “Oh yeah.” Why lie about it?
