Teddy Walker

Architectural Associate

Teddy’s interest in architecture stems from a family business in construction. Having grown up helping his father with residential renovations, he is no stranger to carpentry, demolition, and cabinetry. As his skill set grew and he learned to translate hand drawings into Revit, he became an increasingly valuable asset to the family enterprise.

In his free time, Teddy donates his time to the Appalachian Service Project, whose goal is to make homes “warmer, safer, drier” through critical repairs.

If there were one skill at which you could instantly become an expert, what would it be? To be able to speak fluent Spanish, because it would be applicable to my work and social life.

If you could have one superpower: I would love to fly; traveling would become so much more fun and efficient. Plus, no traffic.

Top city on your list of places you want to visit: Dublin Ireland. I would love to play golf and see the Cliffs of Moher.

Most inspirational or interesting space in (or out of) Chicago: Dubai. I traveled there over 2018-2019 winter break and the speed and innovation of the city’s growth is fascinating.
