PRP Now! Eva Lindberg // Bohlin Cywinski Jackson

Tell us about your PRP firm. Where are you working? 

This summer and fall I have had the opportunity to work at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson in their Seattle location. 

Do you enjoy the city you’re working in? Favorite aspects? 

Yes, very much so! I moved back to my hometown of Seattle for PRP and it’s been great being home. Even after growing up here there's always more to explore, be it in the food, nature, or architecture. One of my favorite aspects is my morning commute taking the Link, which crosses over Lake Washington. Seeing Mount Rainier as the sun rises is a great way to start my day.

What is currently on your desk? What are you working on? 

BCJ Seattle works mainly with residential projects, and I am currently helping with interior renderings and Construction Documents for a home in the mountains. It has been a great learning opportunity to observe architects, interior designers, and consultants all working together on a beautiful home. On my desk right now is my sketchbook, trace paper, a bunch of pens, and some POPMART figurines that I collect!

Describe the firm culture? The office atmosphere? 

Working at BCJ has been great! I'm good friends with my coworkers (shoutout to Elle for the photo of the Space Needle) and it's a comfortable atmosphere. There is always lots happening in the office and while we've got plenty of work to do, it's easy to ask for help. My favorite event that I've had the chance to join was the recent book release and signing party we had for A Long View.

What is the first thing you'll tell your classmates upon your return to UT? 

Probably that I miss the cold weather and rain of Seattle – I’m not ready to be back in the Texas heat!

As you’re finishing up the week, what are your plans for this weekend?

It's getting colder and the leaves are changing colors which makes it beautiful outside. I'm planning to go horseback riding and enjoy nature!
