Alex Wright, Project Architect

Alex Wright grew up in Lakewood, WA. He grew up exploring the mountainous trails of the Pacific Northwest. The beauty of the local parks taught him the importance of sustaining our natural environment (in the woods or in the city) for future generations. As a child, Alex found interest in bridges and buildings that could create connections physically, culturally, or historically to new places. He loved to draw these moments he found when exploring the outdoors.

Alex studied architecture at the University of Virginia. In architecture school, his passion for the built environment blossomed to new heights. Alex realized the importance of shaping space to create special moments for working, playing, dwelling, and living. Architects help facilitate the design process to create, shape, and support the various modes of experiencing life. Along the way, he discovered an enthusiasm for the process and philosophy of design thinking. Design thinking is a way of problem solving using the creative process of iteration, analytical research, cross-sector collaboration, and thinking outside the box. He approaches projects with an interdisciplinary, research-based workflow, analyzing aspects of the design through the lenses of history, culture, sustainability, empathy, and radical joy. It is his dream to provide beautiful design expertise to the people and businesses that need it most.

After graduating with an undergraduate degree in architecture, Alex and his Brazilian wife, Marina, moved back to the west coast, settling in Seattle. When not working in the office, you can find Alex drawing in his sketchbook, creating digital collages and animations, painting, exploring the outdoors, traveling to new vistas, or learning skills like speaking Portuguese.
