“To understand nature, mold the environment and help bring people together is incredibly inspiring,” says Theresa, who brings her expertise as a former San Diego and Seattle city planner to the firm, along with her exceptional project management and communication skills.
Theresa was born in Ontario, and raised in the American Midwest. Through her planning work, volunteer design-builds and traveling the East and West coasts, she discovered her passion for design. She is interested in both the sociology and psychology of how the built environment affects people in positive ways.
“I love the urban environment, and I experience it in any way I can, whether it be city walks, photography or festivals.” In her spare time, Theresa volunteers with Big Sisters and YWCA, shares good food and wine with friends, and continues to explore other “quintessentially Canadian pursuits.” Ice skating, eh?
