Favorite MOA Project
One of my favorite projects I've had the privilege to work on at MOA is Little Raven Elementary School. Littleton Public Schools allowed us the freedom to design a bold and creative school that embodied their diverse student body. From the concept, to the custom graphics, and all the unique design features we developed, to the collaborative set up of the classroom wings, this school was inspiring to be a part of.
Favorite architect:
Frank Gehry
