Marissa Dionne MeadFCAPrincipal, Director of Art Integration 20 Years in the IndustryAs a kid, I loved building things, solving puzzles and drawing. Heading into college I wasn’t quite sure what path I wanted to take but Architecture checked a lot of boxes. Ultimately, I attended the University of Notre Dame to study traditional architecture and urbanism. While there, I also took classes in figure sculpture and completed a concentration in furniture design.

Danielle SimpsonArcadisPrincipal19 Years in the IndustryI come from a lineage of artists and engineers. While it wasn’t obvious to me at the time—when I was considering universities and dabbling first in business, psychology, and sociology—a career in architecture was a natural fit.

Nandar Goday-DinneenPJCArchitectureSenior Associate 20 Years in the IndustryGrowing up, my mother was a builder who designed homes for our family in Ecuador while my father was a doctor. Their contrasting careers led to me explore both architecture and medicine in my first year of college. Although I was drawn to both fields, I quickly realized that my true passion lay in design. I reveled in spending hours on my models but found myself dozing off while trying to read medical textbooks.
