Why Measured?

For the exciting projects, amazing coalescence of skills and imagination of the people and projects

Earliest architectural memory

Drawing a church in elementary school

I’m drawn to design because

Of freedom of imagination.

Favourite space

My house. I can do never-ending improvements and projects.

Preferred era in architecture

Post-modern

Materials that excite me

Combinations of wood and metal

I chose Vancouver because

Of family.

Ball point or felt tip?

Ball point. Although I am currently using felt tip to complete this bio.
