We’re honored to be joined by:

  • Gerald Lock, Project Architect/BIM Manager for Katsalidis Architects. Gerald is an ARBV-registered architect with extensive experience in the residential & lifestyle sectors, having worked on projects in eight countries in Australasia, Europe, and the Near East since 2003. Gerald has built a solid foundation of experience, a working knowledge of local planning and building regulations, and a network of trusted consultants and collaborators in the State of Victoria, Australia. His central professional aspiration is to continue to practice architecture with the utmost pride and integrity.
  • Monica Ortiz, FF&E Manager for Yossi G. Monica majored in architecture at Francisco Marroquín University, the top university in her native country. She trained as both an architect and a developer: remodeling homes, building townhomes as rental properties, creating a development proposal for a gated community in Nicaragua, and helping design hospitals in Dallas. She is currently the FF&E Manager & Fohlio Specialist for a successful architectural design company in New York. Her many travels have exposed her to many cultures and therefore widened her world view and design sensibilities. Her latest project is a beautiful residence on a double lot in Chicago.
  • Scott Barrington, Founder of Modlar. Scott was born in New Zealand into a building family. From the time he spent as a young boy watching his father on building sites, he knew that he would follow in his footsteps as an architect. While working at an architecture firm, Scott created a digitized library, from which came Modlar, a platform which now services 385,000 professional architects globally throughout every step of their design process.
