DMTV Milkshake: Connecting to Nature Through Design With Architect Michael Leckie
Architect and entrepreneur Michael Leckie is deeply connected to nature: Rather than locking himself away in his studio, Leckie traveled the world as a young architect, working in Greece and Italy before settling in British Columbia.
