Our work brings together thoughtful design and a strong understanding of how homes are built. Every project is considered in relation to the people who will live there, its setting, and the architectural principles that give it a distinct identity.

This individual will work directly with the founder and studio leadership to help oversee project execution, maintain technical quality, mentor production staff, and support the continued growth of the firm’s production capabilities.

• Coordinate with consultants, internal project teams, and external partners throughout project development.
• Develop and refine architectural detailing, documentation standards, and technical production systems.
• Assist in resolving technical and construction-related issues during project development and permitting.
• Maintain a strong understanding of residential construction methods, materials, and builder-driven project delivery.

Team Leadership and Mentorship

• Mentor and support architectural staff, drafters, and project teams throughout project production.
• Help train and guide team members in Revit workflows, documentation standards, and technical execution.
• Foster a collaborative, accountable, and quality-driven studio environment.
• Support leadership in building and developing a strong internal production team as the firm grows.
• Assist in onboarding and evaluating production staff as needed.

Studio Collaboration and Production Standards

• Collaborate closely with the founder and Director of Studio Operations to align project staffing and production priorities.
• Help evolve internal production workflows, Revit standards, templates, and detailing libraries.
• Contribute to the continued refinement of studio-wide production systems and quality control processes.
• Support efficient project delivery while maintaining strong architectural quality and design intent.
• Help strengthen the firm’s technical and production capabilities as the studio continues to grow nationally.
