With over a decade of experience in architecture firms, research studio workshop environments and academia, Matt Leach promotes design strategy in everything he does. “I believe that there is always a better way to understand a project’s full potential,” he says. “I constantly seek new and better methods to explore, understand and communicate design opportunities to the project team and stake holders. I use this process to synthesize our interests, observations, and values with our clients’ missions to understand a wider range of design solutions. It’s a necessary process for finding the right approach to a project, but also a lot fun.” At Page, Matt has worked across multiple market sectors. He has been an integral part of award-winning project teams including a federal courthouse, one of the busiest airports in the U.S. and various university academic buildings. A few of his favorite projects include Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin and a U.S. Courthouse near the Page office.
