It's an amazing market for young architects right now. We are lucky.

Architecture is good for someone who can multi-task since you have to be able to really manage your time. A lot of what you learn in architecture is not just design, but problem solving. You have to decide how X,Y, and Z will fit into the box and realize that there are infinite solutions. You need to be open to new ideas.

I'm doing a little of everything, but I'm also getting the chance to work on restoring the theater for the American Film Institute in Silver Spring, Md., which is pretty exciting.
