As a recent graduate, Zach brings unique, early professional experience to the team. He has worked as an architectural intern on residential and commercial new construction as well as additions and adaptive reuse projects providing assistance with design development, specifications, product selection, and construction document production. His education and professional experiences have focused on the ability of design to both communicate information visually and spatially. Through his opportunities at evolve, he continues to explore the role of the environment and its application to the design of human interaction, perception, and experience.
Zach received his Bachelor of Architecture with distinction from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008. He joins the evolve team with a solid background from his university accomplishments, including six personal design commendations from the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon and the Alpha Rho Chi Medal for Leadership, Service, and Professional Merit. Academic opportunities have allowed him to participate in multiple teaching assistantships and research grants, focusing on a visioning plan for the City of Pittsburgh and a yearlong development of a campus master plan for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
