In my formative teen years, my family moved from Paris to Los Angeles. I was not only leaving my friends, but a complete cultural esthetic for something unknown.

When the call came for me to return to the family business, I had to step away from a career fully dedicated to architecture. But my passion for architecture remained, day after day. Then I realized I could take the best of two seemingly incompatible worlds and I combined my architectural training with the appeal of the family business. And this has become the very core of my designing approach. Though challenging at first, this new path has proved to be more a virtue than a compromise. I feel so in tune with what I do today and am delighted to be working closely with those who mean so much to me. “ — Luis Rosas

Without darkness, it is impossible to appreciate the light. Without sadness, it is difficult to fully appreciate joy. The negative helps you appreciate the positive. Shifting focus makes us all more resilient and grateful for the good moments. It’s also helpful to remember that there is no magic formula to coping and we are all on our own path.

I surround myself by beauty and immerse myself in the creative process trying to figure out ways to better things on an individual basis and then hope that my positive outlook sheds light on others.
