A quiet commitment

Ever since I was a kid, nature has been my sanctuary. But lately, I look at the world and feel a heavy sense of responsibility for the damage we've done. I don't want to leave this place worse for the next generation, especially for my sons.

That's why, with every design project, I hold myself to a personal standard: to plant 10 trees* for every one I use in construction.

It's my way of putting back what I take, and reaching the milestone of over 1,000 trees planted is just a small step toward making things right.

*Note: I officially updated my commitment from 5x to 10x on November 26, 2024, recognizing the urgent need to do more.
