DALLAS - Key Persons
Aimee began her practice in architecture as an interior design student. At the time, one of her college professors-an architect-noticed she excelled in design, and encouraged her to enroll in the architecture program. The rest is history. Aimee went on to achieve her master's degree in architecture, building a career on a foundation of planning and interiors principles.
Designing spaces to support students is Aimee's passion. She's inspired by children's creativity, and loves working with them to help inform the design of their space. Her proudest moments are each time a project opens. She feels immense joy watching educators, students, and community members rally around their new school.
When she's not designing education spaces or spending time with her son, Aimee enjoys drawing and painting-a testament to the holistic, creative approach that she applies to her practice.

Andres' work is rooted in a continual dialogue with people and places. His inquisitive nature and enthusiasm for the ways in which different cultures live, work, dine, and play instinctively allow him to draw out varied individual perspectives and experiences to inform spaces with nuanced design elements.
Andres recognizes architecture has no borders but serves everyone differently. He brings a multicultural awareness to corporate, commercial, mixed-use, and urban design projects-from high-rise to master plan developments. His international work throughout Latin America allows him to approach projects with a wider view. This experience guides his designs with fresh insights to create healthy, inspiring, and lasting environments that deliver on the promise of social improvement.
An appreciation of music almost rivals Andres' devotion to design. He finds similarities in designing and composing, not least of which is the anticipation suggested in a blank sheet of paper.
