As Senior Architect with Place Foundry's Architecture & Design Studio, Anita brings a unique blend of artistic vision and technical precision to every project. Her path to architecture began with childhood disappointment—when her mom and sister designed the family house, it lacked the seven gables, window seats, and secret passageways she'd imagined. That gap between vision and reality sparked a determination to create spaces that exceed expectations and bring about meaningful change.

Anita is energized by tackling new design challenges and crafting thoughtful solutions that surpass what clients envision for themselves. She's particularly proud of her recent work on the Roscoe Pop-up Park Landscaping, a project that reflects her deep connection to nature and sustainable design principles. Her dream? Leading a net-zero or beyond project that pushes the boundaries of environmental performance.

Anita's distinctive edge comes from combining artistic talent with a love of mathematics—a rare pairing that allows her to balance creative vision with structural reality. This technical-creative duality is grounded in her passion for nature, which extends well beyond professional work. As an organic farming and permaculture gardening enthusiast, she's committed to sustainable and harmonious living with the natural world, principles that inform her architectural approach.

Her philosophy is refreshingly straightforward, shaped by advice that guides both her design work and personal life: "Be yourself, let others be themselves. You do you." At Place Foundry, Anita channels this authentic approach into architecture that honors both client vision and environmental stewardship.
