Meet Our Team
We design buildings not for ourselves or awards but for people and places with complex needs. We’ve done our job if the design of a space exceeds its potential.
We’re always looking for talented, ambitious people who want to work with us and who share our values. See our current openings.
Value No. 1
Integrity
We’re ethical. We don’t simply follow the rules; we challenge them to ensure that we’re not only adhering to guidelines and regulations, but that we’re hyper-aware of any potential issues or questionable actions both on our firm’s part, as well as any other people involved in a project. When we make mistakes we take responsibility, look for lessons and make it right.
Value No. 2
Quality
Anyone can claim this value, but for us the proof is in our portfolio. We are devoted to perpetual development as creative thinkers, leaders, and servants. Our completed projects demonstrate commitment to excellence through the pursuit of innovative ideas, dedication to craftsmanship, and unwavering focus on the client’s needs.
Value No. 3
Empathy
We listen to feedback and take time to digest it. But empathy means more than careful listening. It’s about placing ourselves in the client’s shoes in order to discern the best way to solve their problems.
Value No. 4
Passion
There’s a reason our team looks forward to work each morning, and it’s not for a paycheck. We are full of passion and zeal and it shows in every aspect of our business. Passion is embodied in our design work, our interaction with clients and partners, and it’s evident when people walk through the doors of our office and see us absorbed in the work.
Value No. 5
Collaboration
We pride ourselves on our collaborative process. We blend the varied talents of all team members in order to create results that are greater than the sum of parts. This not only raises the bar for quality, but it also demonstrates our belief that everyone’s perspective is vital.
Value No. 6
Wonder
We are known for unconventional ideas that work, and we believe good play is good business. By maintaining our sense of wonder we will remain at the forefront of design thinking. At Walker Architects, a sense of delight pervades our projects. Whether the buildings we design encourage people to roam, relax, focus, or collaborate, we seek sensible ways to create small and large surprises that make people smile.
Value No. 7
Agility
We love a good curveball. The design process offers many twists and turns, and our work keeps us nimble. We treat constraints and complexities as creative opportunities. As long as we remain flexible, we will never break.
