For Jonathan Sinco, associate project manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/an-architects-view-of-dallas-adaptive-reuse-momentum\/\">Merriman Anderson Architects<\/a>, this was not the case. For the last seven years Sinco has been advancing his career with the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an early age, Sinco was drawn to architecture. In this episode of <em>The Learning Curve<\/em>, he shares how he used to fall asleep thinking about how he could make buildings better or spending his time building cities with his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only thing I wanted to build was buildings and houses, so I think it was pretty clear from a really early age that the interest was there in a strong way,\u201d he said. While choosing architecture was never much of a question, learning how to become an architect proved to be a much longer journey.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1004803085\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/the-learning-curve-a-lifelong-interest-becomes-a-profession\/jonathans-social\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/06\/JonathanS-social.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Angela Navarette,M.Photog,CPP&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JonathanS-social\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Image sent by Frida Cossio Culver PR &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Jonathan Sinco.

Throughout his time with MAA, Sinco has been able to gain experience in all types of asset classes. Today he is more drawn to projects that are centered around hospitality or multifamily, the spaces people actually live in and experience on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m constantly thinking, is this going to be the best solution and space plan? And is this space going to work for the person using it,\u201d Sinco said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after graduation, Sinco shared how there were some learning curves and skills he is continuing to develop.
