"Toyo Ito is an internationally well-known architect, under whom I had the exceptional opportunity to learn and work in the field of architecture while I was attending graduate school in Tokyo, Japan. His poetic approach to architectural expression stands alone in his work examples. Working late hours and having deep conversations about the projects we were working on engrained a profound sensibility toward architectural design that I will always appreciate him for. On the surface, it may sound whimsical or romantic, but to the contrary, Toyo showed me how to ensure that my designs were both powerful in expression and fit the practical needs of the clients and their projects—invaluable."
