“As design professionals, we harness our skills to visualize, convey through drawings, and implement the infrastructure that we all need to live and thrive in the world today. We take the responsibility to make the communities we live and work in the best they can in earnest. Whether this is the parks we play in, the buildings and spaces we live, work, and hang out in, or the environment we protect and enhance. It is not only expected of us but also highly satisfying that we have a hand in leaving our villages, towns, and cities better than we found them.”
