With a flair for the dramatic, Omari admits he enjoys pretending he’s a character in a film as he rides Chicago Public Transit, gazing dramatically out the window at the city. Exploring Chicago’s foodie scene and searching for elusive cat-themed trinkets are also high on his list of interests. Professionally, he is most inspired by the endless quest of learning and the ongoing ability of architecture to facilitate change for those who interact with it. Omari holds both a Bachelor and Master Degree in Architecture from the University of Michigan.

Omari once had his safety bar come undone at an amusement park. Luckily, he survived.
