Stephanie went through the visualization program at Texas A&M, where students spend the first 2 years learning the core curriculum the other Environmental Design students learn, but they branch off doing mostly 3-D animation for the next 2 years. Because the program is so highly regarded, these folks are handpicked by companies like Pixar to work in Silicon Valley after graduating. Stephanie is a talented animator, interior designer with a track record at Apple, Pixar and Dreamworks. More recently she has nailed a job as Senior Manager at NIO USA working on the future of smarter electric cars.

Richard is one of the hardest working people when he sets his mind to something. He has done a variety of non-architecture jobs in-between long stints at a few central Texas-based architecture firms. After a brief stint in Costa Rica working on a farm, his eyes were opened to a healthier way of living and he is thinking about leaving architecture for fire fighting because it offers physical exercise and being outdoors more than sitting in the office from 9-5. Richard’s story is an inside look at exploring careers outside of architecture.
In school, Seth's projects were memorable because he gave his work an eloquent narrative, whether the assignment be to design a tractor museum or a custom built furniture piece.

He has a wealth of good advice to give younger architects: make yourself seen and heard, be engaging, and you don't have to have all the answers when you start out. His story is an inside look at the daily life of an architect and what it takes to get there.

Erin currently bridges the gap between healthcare research and medical planning at a large architecture firm in Dallas. She has carved out this niche in the architecture field for herself, and did it at an earlier age than most of us. She knew at the start of her architecture degree she wanted to focus on healthcare and Texas A&M’s program is one of the best. From Texas to a long stint in New York, she has since moved back to Texas and spent time lecturing, writing and researching throughout the last 10 years.
