I think it worked out just as it was supposed to work out."

What don't you like about working at Gensler?

"That at the time, employees spent more money on the clothes to look the part and lived in realtive simple apts. I always thought that odd, since for me, the most important thing is my passion, Interior Design. I put my passion into my home, first, and then fashion. I like both, but there is nothing that I love more than interiors, so my home needs to refelct that or I'm not being true to myself."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"It was a long time ago. The management style has changed a lot since then. As I've said, I have friends in high positions there now and I think that they are doing a great job and have made the company much more accessible."
