I attended a concert at Oakland Fox Theater in 2019 – not knowing ELS worked on it – and fell in love with the interiors. At a different time, my curiosity about historical architecture led me to ELS; their portfolio showed a building from my hometown, Fresno City College Old Administration Building. In 2022, when I saw an open architectural position at ELS, I knew I had to apply.
