My podcast with my amazing friend and architect Tim Andreas of AWEWORKS who can finally do a podcast with me because he doesn't have to sign an NDA, for the moment.

DELIVERING INSPIRING BEAUTY
Tim Andreas:
"While preparing for a team retreat in 2019 on Expertise vs. Opinion, I reflected on the four distinct phases of my career evolution and I realized that while I had been an architect, an interior designer, a digital innovator, and a leader, what I had always done was strive to deliver a beautiful project, inspiring awe and wonder.
That had been my singular purpose, from conception to execution. I had pivoted and progressed to gain experience across the breadth of design in order to understand the complete picture - from the perspective of both the client and the designer - to learn that design is ultimately about creating emotion."
