RB+B recognizes that the most creative and important assets we have are our staff; each year our co-workers commit to the firm creates an occasion to be celebrated! But at five-year milestones, we take a little extra time to check in with our talented team members to celebrate their major accomplishments, and get their take on what’s important moving into the future.

Five Minutes with Sarah:

What has been your proudest moment/accomplishment at RB+B?
Seeing the kids enjoy the schools that we work on, especially for the Early Childhood Center at Maddox is my most proud moment.

Describe a funny moment during a project.
Some of the questions that Architects get asked always amazes me! This summer, during the construction of Eaton Middle School they found a real skeleton up in the science classroom ceiling, that was apparently used long ago for instruction. One day at our OAC Meeting, Brianne and I were asked how to dispose of it. We never learned how to answer that in school!

Why do you enjoy working at RB+B?
I enjoy working at RB+B because we get the opportunity to express our creativity through the uniqueness of the designs that each school brings and embodies. I love how each design is different and unique. I enjoy working with this group of talented individuals, who feel like family to me.

Tell us about a goal you have for the next five years.
In the next five years I would like to start a family and continue to advance, grow, learn, and put forward creative designs.

What do you like to do outside of work hours?
Outside of work hours, I enjoy working out (hot yoga, HIIT workouts with Chloe, running, sand volleyball, and hiking). I also enjoy hanging out with friends and family, going up to Wyoming to help out on my family ranch, and creating art whenever I can. My parents got me a paddleboard for Christmas, so I am looking forward to using it as well!

What drew you to RB+B? Why have you stayed?     
I was drawn to RB+B because the firm had a smaller-less corporate vibe that felt more like a family. I have stayed because I enjoy making a difference in young kids’ lives.

Do you have a hidden talent?   
Most of you may not know, I am really good at foosball if you ever need a partner. Sculpting is also another hidden talent of mine.

If you could share a piece of advice with your 20-year old self/30-year old self, what would it be?
If I could share a piece of advice with my 20-year old self, I would say to slow down, sleep more, and go camping more.
