"'Architecture with people in mind' is more than our tagline," says David H. Watkins, FAIA, chairman and founding principal. "It's the foundation of who we are as a company. We couldn't deliver the quality of design and service that are so important to our clients without a talented and dedicated team. These talented professionals are the future of our practice, and they deserve a supportive workplace with excellent benefits."
