Principal at Studio BBA

B.Arch 2015

Samantha is a seasoned, highly-creative, California licensed architect at Studio BBA, a multidisciplinary practice where she can apply her technical and design skills. She collaborates on projects customized for the end user, including custom homes + renovations, food + beverage, and retail spaces with colleagues that are equally passionate, who value teaching as much as learning.

Previously an Associate at Gensler, Sam was working on commercial office buildings and headquarters projects out of the San Francisco office. She received her Bachelor’s of Architecture from the Academy of Art University in 2015. Recently, she has finished the Burlingame Point Project, after having started during pre-design in the project and taking it through construction to completion.

Through her experiences on Burlingame Point, Samantha has become particularly interested in taking projects from start to finish, bringing concepts into realization within the Bay Area. Sam is motivated by the workplace when it cultivates creative thinking while surrounded by the industry’s thought leaders and star talent.

My classmates and I have felt that our education has proven to be invaluable as we step into the profession. The program prepared us for a seamless transition between my education and career. I am so thankful for the support from my faculty in and outside the classroom.
