What is your favorite color? My favorite color is green. My very first favorite color was yellow and then for a temporary time it was orange. Around the time I was 10 then my favorite color became green. I love the middle shade of green where it’s not too dark but it’s not super light...
What made you decide to become a designer? As a kid, I always hated ugly (“self-defined”) buildings and I couldn’t understand why people built buildings the way they do. I would always imagine what the space would look like if I made changes to the space or building in general but that was just childish...

A few weeks ago, our new friends and neighbors at the Boston Children’s’ Museum opened their doors to our team for a behind the scenes tour of their facility. Since many of us haven’t been to the museum since we were kids (if at all), it was great to see how their staff works to...
