To deal with stress I become more introspective, quiet, and careful with my words. I have an avoidant personality when it comes to conflict. Always trying to keep calm and mellow everyone out.

If it's praise, give it freely and abundantly.

If it's critical, ask me if I have the mental or emotional capacity to receive it at that time. "Is it a good time to talk about(insert important subject)?"

My name is Daniel Jaime Rodríguez-Colón, but call me Daniel--or Dan if you are in a rush.

I will be co-leading on Casa Areyto Phase 1. I have a background in art and design and am currently a product and marketing manager for an architectural software and consulting firm.

Usually I will walk around Philadelphia all day, from coffee shop to coffee shop, doing work and reading and responding to messages.

I love going to the park or local festivals. When I am not cooking I am daydreaming about a meal I've never made and where I can find those ingredients (right now I am really wanting to make homemade ramen and pho broth)

I am always sketching. I take an ipad or sketchbook with me everywhere so that I can sketch what I am seeing: crowd of people, old building, quiet streetscape.

Macbook, Ipad + apple pencil, iphone, and a sketchbook.

I prefer to work outside, public library, or a coffee shop. I get my best work done when the work I am doing has a great impact. It is hard for me to buy into doing work I do not believe in--at that point I am just doing it to pay my bills and everyone can tell.

I am always working or learning. Between 8am-9pm I will spend 30min-90min working, but I take a ton of breaks. The longer I work remotely the more I appreciate asynchronous communication work. It's like a relay race. I depend on my team to carry the batton whenever I cant. I am here to carry it when you can't.
