“I love that architecture can completely transform a space and change the lives of the people around it. That a little bit of money can possibly change a child's life in the school they attend or an employees life in the office they work. We spend most of our lives in buildings and its important that we design them in a way that improves our lives.”

Andrew Olsen

AIA, LEED GA

• Associate
• Project Manager

“There is a William McDonough quote I have been carrying around for over a decade that I use as a foundation for every project I work on: ‘I think as designers we realize design is a signal of intention, but it also has to occur within a world and we have to understand that world in order to imbue our designs with inherent intelligence.’”

Connecting with Nature inspires me in the way I see design. Through materials, colors, and organic forms, I love to blur the line between inside and out.”
