I’ve always been fascinated by the natural world. Building environments for animals over the years has given me an understanding of them I never would’ve known, like how far they can jump or dig. It’s very gratifying to know I’ve contributed in a way to help the species on the brink of extinction survive or be reintroduced into the wild after some successful breeding programs. People that visit zoos may never get to see a lion in Africa, but with careful design approaches we can simulate an African environment so visitors can see and enjoy what an African environment will look like right in their city.
