In our inaugural episode, COOKFOX Senior Associate Patricia Lozano and Associate Agathe Ceccaldi sit down for a candid conversation with Julie Rosen, a preservationist at Higgins Quasebarth & Partners.

Julie Rosen is an associate at Higgins Quasebarth & Partners, where her work is informed by her background in historic preservation, facade restoration/conservation and construction management. From her thesis work on 20th century brick at University of Illinois to her work on 378 West End Avenue with Higgins Quasebarth & COOKFOX, she tells us her unique journey to becoming a preservationist. Throughout her story, the discussion revolves around what is preservation, what do we preserve, how do we preserve it and why.
