LEDDY MAYTUM STACY ARCHITECTS - Key Persons
I grew up in and around architecture offices: my architect dad instilled an early appreciation for aesthetics and taught me to always look up for details.
I joined LMS A because I wanted to be with a firm that aligns with my values of community service and giving back. Marketing is so much more engaging when I can walk past our projects, see their impacts on the fabric of the city, and tell a story of something I believe in.
Architectural marketing is a unique blend of people skills and creative work: I love that the nature of my job is so varied and allows me to interact with different teams and projects every day.
I'm interested in bringing the poetics of architecture into the everyday world.
If I was only interested in craft, I could just design single-family, high-end residences. But I don't see that as making a difference. We can support communities that are underserved, communities that design sometimes ignores.
I grew up skateboarding on the urban fabric and civic infrastructure of North Baltimore.
While skating, we would chat with community members who frequented these spots and cheered us on. It was powerful experiencing how a simple bench or ledge could bring a group of unlikely people together for an afternoon. I am inspired in my own work by public places that are radically inclusive and truly communal.
I relocated to San Francisco for its commitment to inclusive environments at a local and global scale. At LMS A, I hope to create affordable housing projects that out-live me and provide beautiful accessible communities for folks from all walks of life.
