Ana Manzo Bio I am a licensed architect who has devoted over 20 years to developing projects. I have worked in various design fields with a wide range of clients, from homeowners to large corporations such as Kraft Foods, Chrysler, British American Tobacco, Marriott, Hilton, and Best Western Hotels. I allow my empathy, interests, and curiosity in human behavior to drive my design intent. As a result, I approach every design challenge with a fresh perspective, focusing on social responsibility and people’s needs ahead of design technicalities. This worldview allows me to understand architecture in a more expansive way.
