Member Spotlight: Lauren Bennett, Marketing Coordinator 2, Studio G Architects
What is your favorite part about your work?
My favorite part of my work is seeing the difference my firm makes in the communities we serve. Being a part of that greater whole is a fantastic feeling, and being surrounded by people who care so much about the planet and about the people we design for is really uplifting. I always say that the Studio G Architects office is a great place to be, and I learn something new every day.
