THE DOGRUN

"I knew David and I would become good friends when I heard his answer to an intro question at his first office meeting: “What is your favorite color?” The answer, of course, is gray. Jump ahead a few months and we found ourselves working together on the same project, and jump ahead a few years, now after his return from grad school, and I’m lucky enough to still be working with him.  His old friends nicknamed him Red, but here we call him Little Chef, or LC, as in that lovable rat from Ratatouille, you know, the one with all the talent!  You can count on David for just about anything – he has a greater wealth of architecture knowledge than anyone you know, he can turn any design idea into a beautiful rendering, and he’ll give you a ride to the airport at 5 in the morning. There’s a lot more to him, but what you need to know about David is that he passionately believes that everyone should work towards becoming the best version of themselves, and it's very easy to do that when you're around him."   -Vicki Yuan   Hometown: Born in Monterrey, Mexico- but grew up in Metamora, Illinois Years at LF: ~3.5 (including my internship here) Current Project: Epoch Winery + Tasting Room Favorite LF Project: Armstrong Oil and Gas/ Dog team Loft / Hotel San Jose Achilles Heel: I got a bad case of the "Grass is always greener" complex Happiest Place: Coffee with friends Memorable Book: Life of the Beloved Prized Possession: 1928 Derelict Laundromat – check it out here  Current Obsession: Making that derelict Laundromat habitable- and learning how to be a grown-up!
