Our Team

Greg Estes, RA

Senior Architect,

“The best solutions come from slowing down, paying attention, and thinking differently.”

As a Project Architect and a behind-the-scenes force in BIM, technology, and operations, Greg understands how people, processes, and spaces fit together. A quiet strength on any team, he approaches every challenge with focus, curiosity, and a knack for finding creative, practical solutions.

Greg enjoys digging into the details while keeping an eye on the bigger picture, shaping environments that feel intuitive, functional, and designed to help teams work better. With a calm, steady presence and genuine care for the people using the space, he makes complex projects feel manageable—and spaces feel effortless to use.
