Background

About Stacy Deuser

Check out my Resume + Portfolio @ stacydeuser.org I have a passion for designing, building, and exploring structures. In addition to working with some skilled and inspired mentors, I am fortunate to have had a range of invaluable academic, professional, and personal opportunities spanning the fields of architecture, structural engineering, project management, and numerous labor trades. These experiences have provided a comprehensive understanding of the construction industry and expanded my skillset, allowing me to make informed and effective contributions to any project. Being a natural problem solver, I have a long reputation as the go-to person. Repeatedly I hear, “that can’t be done”, but with commitment and a can do attitude, a logical, quality solution is always possible. My unique background and knack for recognizing possible project pitfalls and potential, allow me to make holistic decisions from structural, aesthetic, functional, and practical perspectives. I was born with an inherent interest in all things related to designing and building. As a child, I begged to help build our deck, replace the roof, and use power tools, long before I was of age. With time I became more conscious of my surroundings, and began to appreciate the effects they had on my life. I realized that the spaces I use every day, along with those I would visit just once, each help to develop my self-identity, and have the ability to shape my perceptions, alter my outlook, invoke thought, and inspire. I am motivated by the fact that as designers and creators, we give people the context in which their lives take place – an important privilege and responsibility that should be considered throughout a project’s entirety from the quality of a design to the level of workmanship used to complete its final details. Professionally, I seek to combine this mindfulness and my extensive skillset with the lessons of my diverse experience to make lasting contributions to our built environment.
