Pablo Escutia, KKC Development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pablo Escutia wanted to be a psychologist. He ended up running KKC Development, a design build firm in the South Bay of Los Angeles that draws houses and then builds them, and arguing that the split between those two jobs was never real to begin with. A line from one of his professors stuck with him: everything works on paper. Finding out what happens when the paper meets the site is what moved him from architecture into custom home building, and it is the case he spends the rest of the conversa
Steve Larosiliere & Alyssa Olson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ten months ago Alyssa Olson left a salaried seat to run her own landscape architecture practice.

Priscilla is the founder and design principal of GAMPworks.

Nearly two decades later the firm is ten people, most of them women, most of them immigrants. She grew up in Mexico in the 1980s surrounded by architects and never once pictured herself among them. Her
Keita Turner, Keita Turner Design (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Keita Turner put her project types and her budget range on her website, and the phone went quiet. She had decided her studio would no longer take the single bathroom or the paint colour consultation, and she knew going in what that would cost her. It is one of the more honest accounts of raising a minimum you will hear from anyone running an interior design business, because she does not skip the part where the referrals dried up. Keita is President and Creative Director of Keita Turner Design,
