February in Boston<\/strong> has truly felt like a classic New England<\/strong> winter<\/strong>. It has been snowing frequently, transforming the city into a white landscape that feels almost cinematic. As someone coming from a different climate, experiencing such intense snowfall has been both beautiful and challenging. The rhythm of the city changes with the weather \u2014 streets become quieter, movements slower, and architecture feels even more present against the white backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Professionally, this month has been very productive. At Fogarty Finger<\/strong><\/a>, I have been working on office projects both in Boston<\/strong> and in New York<\/strong>. It has been exciting to contribute to projects in two cities with such distinct urban identities. Boston\u2019s historic fabric and New York\u2019s density create very different design conversations, and being exposed to both contexts has allowed me to broaden my understanding of workplace design in the United States<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most exciting developments this month has been the growth of our team. The office is expanding, welcoming new architects and designers, which brings fresh energy and new perspectives into the studio. It is inspiring to be part of a growing team where collaboration and exchange of ideas are constant. As an international architect on a J1 visa<\/strong>, being included in this dynamic environment makes the experience even more meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond work, I have been embracing winter activities and the cultural life of the city. I even went ice skating \u2014 something I had rarely done before \u2014 which felt like a true Boston experience. Despite the cold, the city remains active and vibrant, with exhibitions, events, and gatherings that make winter feel alive rather than restrictive.<\/span><\/p>\n

February has been a month of adaptation and growth: adapting to the snow, growing professionally within a dynamic office, and continuing to immerse myself in American culture. Each month here reinforces how valuable this international experience is, both personally and professionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

I look forward to what the next season will bring.<\/span>\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n
