Ingrid Moye is a director and co-founder of architecture studio Zeller & Moye. She explains what it's like to run an international firm in Mexico City, for the Dezeen Jobs careers guide.
As a director, Moye's role requires her to lead the design direction and business development at architecture studio Zeller & Moye's Mexico City office. The studio has another office in Berlin.
Managing a team of architects, Moye oversees each project the firm takes on from start to completion, alongside co-founder Christoph Zeller.
"At Zeller & Moye we carefully select the projects we endeavour, and we as directors are very involved in each one of them, so there is no such thing as a 'b project'," Moye explained.
"Our working ethos is based on context analysis, an experimental process for each project, and a high attention to detail and quality." Moye met German architect Zeller in 2009, after practising as an architect at a number of international firms including SANAA and Herzog & de Meuron.
In 2013, they decided to form Zeller & Moye, applying their contrasting cultural styles and accumulated industry experience to complete projects for clients such as Nike and Design Week Mexico.
Running international operations from Mexico City, Moye explained, can be "a challenge", however she shares that her previous places of employment helped her to develop the required "communication, organisation, and leadership skills" to do so.
