Landscape Architecture alumnus Alex Tyler was recently accepted into the Tulsa Remote program. From a pool of over 10,000 applicants, 100 people were selected and given $10,000 to work remotely out of Tulsa for one year.
Alex will use these funds to open an Oklahoma-based office of Alchemy Exteriors, while he continues to run his Alchemy Exteriors office in Dallas. Alex will be operating this new office out of a 1973 Airstream that he is currently renovating.
Congratulations, Alex!
