Michael Hsu Office of Architecture principals, Michael Hsu and Maija Kreishman, join the podcast to discuss their approach to business development, the process of designing affordable housing for Habitat for Humanity, and how philanthropy enables new design opportunities.

“Our office is organized in such a way that design exists everywhere—even someone coming out of school has a voice. We strive to have a lot of respect at the design table, but it’s also a competition of ideas internally; we work with each other to come up with the best ideas and have those move forward.”

- Michael Hsu, Michael Hsu Office of Architecture
