Michael Smith, President and Owner of Michael Smith Architects, is a goTasker member with over 22 years of residential and commercial design experience in the tristate area.

“I think there’s going to be a new comfort level with video technology,” he said. “In-person meetings will still have their place, of course, but I think a lot of businesses in our industry are going to become more efficient by taking things online.”

“Connecticut is going to be in a good position later this year,” Michael said. “And with everyone staying at home, I think there will be a future impact on the overall design of homes. Our clients may want to include things like home offices that weren’t considered before.”
