Architecture is Cassidy’s passion, but she’s a deft maker across many forms: Give her some wood, steel, paint, or fabric and she’s bound to explore a recent idea. A self-proclaimed people-person, Cassidy loves working with a team to find a design solution and make it real, and works closely with clients to encourage honest, straightforward communication.

From Cassidy’s perspective architecture is the harmonious (and sometimes dissonant) act of balancing many voices. Ultimately, we create space to protect and celebrate the human experience. It cannot be done well without the perspectives of those who will occupy, those who will build, those who will fund, and those who interpret it all into reality. Thanks to Cassidy’s time at UB, she’s developed a real curiosity for making. Because of her consideration for people, this curiosity extends into even the creation of a meeting.  She loves to work with her team and her clients to create unique experiences that lead to authentic and collaborative conversations.  It’s never easy, but it’s worth it.
