I'm an architect and principal at David Baker Architects, an award-winning Bay Area architecture firm. We design great housing and neighborhoods for people. Our unofficial specialty is turning parking lots next to freeways into wonderful apartment buildings.
I live in Downtown Oakland with my husband, kids, fish, plants, and books.
Previously, I was a volunteer editor for SOILED magazine, a scrappy architectural periodical based in Chicago. Before I got the architecture thing going, I made numerous excursions outside the field of architecture, including graphic design, assembling theater sets, building homes with Habitat for Humanity, and improving crop quality at agricultural research labs and fields.
