“We’re adventurous, curious, and not afraid to try new things.”
Garret’s passion for architecture comes from people. He finds the rapport between architect and client – and the trust that grows out of that collaboration – to be extremely rewarding. It’s an experience that is made even better when the results of that collaboration win nationwide recognition.
Raised with winters in Anchorage and summers spent drift netting in Naknek, Garrett is Alaskan to the core, a truth reflected in his passion for the craft of northern building design. He first became interested in design while in high school through drawing and clothing design. He was attracted to the physical texture of materials and the way things connect. Today, this extends to the acoustic properties of the materials he uses. He enjoys creating a holistic experience for his clients. He is currently working with a very demanding client, designing and building an addition to his own home.
Away from the office, Garrett is a committed clarinetist and an avid traveler. He is also active in the community as an artist and volunteer who has worked with the Alaska Design Forum and the International Gallery of Contemporary Art.
