Secret to working together
GP: In design, we learn that one will back down to a point of disagreement
GY: At the end of the day, you trust the other person’s strong opinion

Wish we had designed
An art gallery or museum

 |
Favorite thing to do together
GP: Adding on personal weekends after a few days of business to explore the area
GY: Before we bought our residence in New York, we came weekly for a few years and tried a different hotel each time for the experience and to fulfill our curiosity
