In 1978 working in the Pioneer District I met Gideon Kramer while working on a project in the  Norton Building on Washington Street.

Mr Kramer , an artist and  industrial designer, was a strong influencer, and I begin the study of the connectives of construction.

First through Japanese joinery, and then the community that exists in a project.

Learning those connections helped me to be able to see the possible future end results from the beginnings of a project.

Allowing me to better assist the team in  predicting the more productive paths towards achieving the project goals.
