With an approachable style, she engages clients in the design process, leading them to solutions that stretch their imaginations while remaining rooted in practicality. She also has an interest in the textural materiality of buildings and innovation in sustainable technologies.

She often has future architects and designers shadow her, giving them real-world experience.
