Our Team

Greg Estes, RA

Senior Architect,

Greg wears various hats at Design Collaborative – Project Architect, BIM Manager, IT support, and Operations support. He is an innovator and is passionate about helping others using his skill sets. Greg has been working at DC for over 20 years, and deeply cares about the clients who come to our doors.

Greg enjoys splitting his time between embracing simplicity and immersing himself with complex technologies. One moment he can be found enjoying a quiet moment out in nature, or casually lounging around a record player with drink in hand, and then another moment he has 60 browser tabs open exploring some new (to him) concepts in hopes of inventing something new.
