Designer/Drafter
Ryan has always been a work hard and ski hard kind of guy. He was raised in Granite Bay, California by avid sports enthusiasts who brought him to Tahoe, chasing storms, since he was 4 years old. His father, being a construction manager, had him hammering in nails around the same age, so his pursuit of an architectural career in Truckee was a predictable outcome from a very young age.
After graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2017 with a degree in Architecture, Ryan worked in Sacramento for a couple of years, designing public schools. Then, the hunger for worldly experience and the lust for cutting edge design technology got the best of him, and he moved to Stuttgart, Germany to get a masters at the Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research Program (ITECH) at the University of Stuttgart. Here, he studied under the world-renowned professors Achim Menges and Jan Knippers to specialize in the contemporary disciplines of computational design, robotics for construction, material science, and computer science.
The next chapter in Ryan’s pursuit of both design and adventure was moving to Oslo, Norway to be a technical consultant and a backcountry skier. He advised Norwegian design and engineering firms on best practices in design technology and developed bespoke design software to help them solve complex problems. All the while, he was exploring new snowy peaks and new ways of life. After exploring Scandinavia for 2 years, Ryan decided to bring his world experience back home to the Sierra Nevada. He joined MWA with the hope of having a positive influence on his home’s built environment and culture.
You can still find Ryan exploring new summits, although now, he is more focused on the local peaks than ever before.

All Staff
Anna and I wanted to tell once again how thrilled we are with your design of our home to be constructed in Tahoe Donner.
As builders of custom homes we have very high standards when designing our homes. especially one for our family to live in. We gave you an assignment that required you to meet my expectations from a constructability stand point and to express Anna’s functional and aesthetic desires. From my perspective as a builder you hit a homerun designing a home that will not only be cost effective to construct, and functional, but exceeded all of our design expectations. This home will truly be unique and very beautiful when constructed.
You listened to our needs and desires and gave us a home that takes full advantage of our entire 270 ° of views while designing it for our large family to feel at home in.
Please feel free to share this with anyone who needs convincing that you will give them everything they want and expect from an architect and then will exceed their expectations. It has been our pleasure working with you and we wish you the best of luck
