So, Deborah Berke is super-talented and extremely intelligent and cheerful and gracious and funny.
But I keep looking at that picture and thinking "Hell, yes, this is *exactly* how a female architect should look", right down to the designery dog in its understated leather collar. I'm so shallow.
Congratulations, Deborah! Well-deserved, to be sure
I had the pleasure of working with Deborah at Ghost 10, and to nobody's surprise she was fantastic. Definitely well-deserved.
weimaraners are the weird neurotic psycho dogs.
