Lynn decided to be an architect while in 2nd grade when her parents added on to the family home. She loved studying the plans and pestering the contractors with questions. From that point onward, her mother nurtured Lynn’s love of all things architecture. Lynn is a proud graduate of Pennsylvania State University and Columbia University.

She continues to love her profession because of the people she collaborates with during each project – clients, contractors, consultants, craftspeople and her lga colleagues – they bring hard-earned expertise, creative ideas and a sense of comradery to the table.
