He is also the creator and producer of one of the AIA Arkansas Convention signature events for the past 5 years, the Emerging Professionals Pecha Kucha Night.

Since moving to Little Rock in 2014, Adam’s passion for design and business evolved to include development. Personal projects include renovating the Days’ first home, repurposing a 19th century church into what is now Bark Bar (Arkansas’ first off leash dog park, bar and restaurant), and designing and building the Days’ new home in North Little Rock. His current venture is as part of the development and ownership team behind the mixed-use development 1424 SoMa.
