What's your favorite thing about your job?

Growing up I used to think I’d end up as a dairy farmer, then for a while I wanted to be a developer. Now that I’m working in custom home design, I know I’ve found where I’m supposed to be and am loving it. Being part of a team that helps families figure out what they really want in a home and then turning that into detailed plans they can actually build from is the part of the job I look forward to every day.
