Michael DeFries

Designer

How’d you start in this industry?


“I joined Moxie Collaborative through the SkillBridge program while transitioning out of the Marine Corps. It gave me the opportunity to bring my background in leadership and technical problem solving into design and construction, while learning a new industry alongside an experienced team.”

What’s your role at Moxie Collaborative?


“I work in design and sales, using Chief Architect to turn clients’ ideas into plans and visuals. I work directly with clients to understand what they want and help them explore the possibilities for their spaces. I’m also the team’s personal chef, keeping everyone fed with lunches throughout the week.”

What’s life like outside of work?


“Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, and cooking. I love exploring new places and trying the local food, and I’m always happy to unwind with a good video game or a great movie.”
