Morgan McCarty, a writer with Inside Columbia magazine - a city regional magazine published monthly in Columbia, Mo is working on a story about creative storage solutions. She is looking to speak with an architect who can provide some insight into the topic. You can see her specific questions below. Her questions are very basic, but this is a great opportunity to position architects as expert problem solvers.
She would prefer to speak with an architect directly, but is ok with receiving the answers to her questions via email - but she needs to have the answers by Monday. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out.
best,
