Cory Harris LEED AP BD+C
“Design has been my thing, since I first laid my eyes on a Bang & Olufsen turntable at my best friend's house back in the '80s. Architecture school brought my passion into focus. Whether object, idea, or building, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out the delight and beauty that come from well-designed things.”
