Stewart H. Ankrom

President, AIA

What I enjoy most about Architecture is the conceptual phase, where the “big idea” that ultimately affects all relevant design decisions is formed. When a strong concept is established early on, successful design solutions generally follow.

Ariel  Chavarria

Favorite Artists: Georgia O’Keefe, Frida Kahlo, and Diego Rivera

Ariel Chavarria

I’ve worked on a number of affordable & mixed-use housing projects for low & moderate-income families & individuals. With the housing crisis, 1 in 3 Americans spends 30% of their salary on housing, 1 in 8 spends 50%. I hope to alleviate this problem by providing thoughtfully designed, affordable housing to those in need

Justin  Chester

“inspiration”... for me, it’s the possibilities of what could be.

Justin Chester

Alternate career: I’m very fortunate to love what I do now, but automotive design seems to be an ever changing challenge to designers in that field. I would find the challenge of designing vehicles based on target markets/costs/new technology etc. to be a fascinating opportunity, but there is already a very close similarity to Architecture.

Matt  Cindrich

Favorite Building: Chapel of St. Ignatius

Employee Quotes

Hospitality was my interest and I've worked on AMAA's fast paced Hospitality-Resort-Timeshare team for most of my time here. I've been given all the responsibility I've asked for and then some. It has allowed me to build on a great number of skills in a relatively short period of time.
