Can you design your life just like you design a building? Paul Woolford, Design Principal with HOK in San Francisco, was already thinking this way at a very young age. He grew up in a small town in Missouri, went to Cornell University, traveled the world for a year, and worked with well-known architect Sir Terry Farrell in London. I was pleased to interview Paul on my podcast, where he shared his story and thought leadership, including regenerative design principles.
