What would be more fulfilling than a career in architecture and design? If you ask Charlotte Lipschitz, she’ll sip her morning coffee and tell you ”nothing–with the exception of puppy-sitting.” A humanitarian at heart, this quick humored, trigonometry sorceress earned her degree from Brown University — not to mention she’s a competitive sailor on a national level. Needless to say, is there anything this tan, knowledge-craving salad-lover can’t do?

Who are the Studio Dunn summer interns? This week we’ll be introducing you to them! Interns join Studio Dunn for the creative learning experience and unique design-and-build environment and leave with a great deal of knowledge and a handful of portfolio additions. First up is David Zacher…

At the age of 13, David Zacher passed up a lifelong opportunity to work in a traveling carnival. Random? It gets better. Part chef, part bicyclist, part wheat-paste, part RISD grad student, this Jack-of-all-Trades can attribute his skill-set to his hodgepodge of different experiences. After ‘sampling’ many career paths, the West Virginian realized that designing a better world could actually be a career rather than just a hobby. We aren’t sure if he’ll ever regret his decision to leave the U.S. congress, but we’re quite happy that he did; we love his inventiveness, quirky laugh, and awesome stories. Anyong & Sayonara Mr. Dumpter-Diver–Enjoy your trip to Korea & Japan!

Asher Dunn, lead designer, was kind enough to let us peek in on a day in his life at Studio Dunn in Rhode Island. Let’s take a peek.”
