“At SPACE, I have the most amazing job I could ever have hoped. I employ a creative and diverse group of people who can not only design solutions, but engage in actual fabrication and construction of the designs for a complete solution. We have built a reputation for some of St. Louis’ most innovative spaces, in a large part due to intense collaboration within our design-construction team. It has always been a dream of mine to be able to put together a group like we have today, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be in this position. Through SPACE, we can constantly experiment, test and explore our creative boundaries.”
