  1. Priscilla Auyeung, GAMPworks

    A friend saw Priscilla Auyeung standing next to a materials palette in an Instagram repost and messaged to ask whether she took on interiors too. She did not, at the time. She said she did. GAMPworks was founded somewhere in the middle of the project that created it, and a year later that project...

  2. Patricia Algara, BASE Landscape Architecture

    Patricia Algara came to landscape architecture through feminism, not through drafting tables, even though four generations of architects preceded her. She founded BASE Landscape Architecture in the wreckage of a recession, with one project, one collaborator, and an office in an abandoned…

  3. Keita Turner, Keita Turner Design

    Keita Turner put her project types and her budget range on her website, and the phone went quiet. She had decided her studio would no longer take the single bathroom or the paint colour consultation, and she knew going in what that would cost her. It is one of the more honest accounts of raising…

  4. Steve Duncan, BŌK Modern

    Steve Duncan decided to become an architect at fourteen. He graduated into the 2011 recession, watched all but four people in his class fail to land design work of any kind, and took a lighting design job instead. Fifteen years later he is Creative Design Lead at BŌK Modern, and he treats that...

  5. Adam Greenspan, PWP Landscape Architecture

    Seventy feet above downtown San Francisco, on the roof of a transit center, there is a half mile loop of path where strangers stop to point at leaves and name species out loud. Adam Greenspan, partner and design director at PWP Landscape Architecture in Berkeley, California, helped design that...

  6. Larissa Cook, FBN Construction

    Larissa Cook was studying criminal justice when she took an executive assistant job at a Boston remodeling firm. Nearly twenty years later she is president of that company, FBN Construction, a 40-person, $30 million builder working on some of the most complex homes and inner city renovations in...

  7. Maura Rockcastle, TEN x TEN

    Maura Rockcastle designs landscapes by first standing in them for hours, feeling how the light shifts, how the ground gives underfoot, how a single site changes across a day. As Principal and Co-Founder at TEN x TEN, she has turned that slow, sensory way of working into a practice that treats…

  8. Gary Fusselman, Precision Millwork

    Gary Fusselman cashed in his retirement, waited two days after his daughter's wedding, and launched Precision Millwork out of a shared shop in Utah. In this episode of the Designers and Builders Podcast, Gary sits down with host Alyssa Olson to share how thirty plus years in the industry taught…

  9. Jaya Kader, KZ Architecture

    Jaya Kader has spent decades building luxury homes in Miami, but a calling back to Costa Rica changed everything. In this episode of the Designers and Builders Podcast, Jaya sits down with host Alyssa Olson to share how regenerative design became not just her practice, but her philosophy for…

  10. MeLinda Kann, MeLinda K Design Studio

    MeLinda Kann did not plan on becoming a millwork specialist. She went to school for teaching, then theater design, then interior design, and somewhere along the way, a drafting internship at a cabinet shop changed everything. In this episode of the Designers and Builders Podcast, host Steve...

  11. Meghan Talarowski, Studio Ludo

    Meghan Talarowski has spent the last decade proving that Playgrounds can be so much more than plastic slides and rubber mats. In this episode of the Designers and Builders Podcast, host Alyssa Olson sits down with the founder and executive director of Studio Ludo to talk about research-driven…
