real estate development, master planning, architecture, engineering, and construction firms. We solve our client’s most complex challenges by leveraging the collective expertise and ingenuity of the best and brightest minds across the development, design, and construction industry. TZL: Have you had a particular mentor who has guided you – in school, in your career, or in general? Who were they and how did they help? EA: I’ve had many mentors in my professional career. My greatest mentor, Hank Winkelman, is a visionary healthcare designer who influenced me greatly in my design thinking, my ability to connect with clients, and my relationship with my fellow design colleagues. He is 20 years my senior and now retired, but I still consult with him often as a friend and fellow colleague on the work I do. Hank blessed me with a legacy of collaboration and mentorship that I endeavor to pass on to our up-and-coming designers. My hope is that they, in turn, will pass on that same legacy of mentorship and generous way of being to future generations of architects and designers. TZL: In one word or phrase, what do you describe as your number one job responsibility? EA: Relationship and opportunity builder. TZL: A firm’s longevity is valuable. What are you doing to encourage your staff to stick around? EA: Our design culture of inclusiveness, collaboration, and entrepreneurial opportunity motivates our staff and creates professional and personal bonds that go well beyond work.
