• I am excited about great design and fascinated with new ideas. I celebrate my individuality in all things---from the clothes I wear to the car I drive including the home I live in. I see the value in sustainability, eco-friendliness, and social connection through architecture.• I am a global architect, in a modernist state of mind, out to change the world.• (Lira holds 2 architectural licenses in 2 countries.
