Architecture runs in the Family
Inspired by an architect grandfather and uncle and her interior designer mother, Libby knew from an early age that she wanted to pursue a profession that balanced the intersection of art and technology.
There were so many buildings in my small Indiana hometown that my grandfather designed that had real impact in the community. I grew up in a house designed by my grandfather and often visited my grandparents in their mid century modern home designed by him as well. I took it for granted that a lot of thoughtful planning had gone into make our house my home.
