Cassandra
Since joining PWWG in 2018, Cassandra has applied her passions for urban and architectural design and critical analysis of historic contexts to designing multi-family residential projects and adapting historic buildings for new use. Her international experience, strong graphic eye, skill with emerging software technologies and cultivating collaboration helped her evolve into design and project manager roles at PWWG. Cassandra loves nurturing the next generation of architects, having mentored high school students through Carnegie Museum of Art’s Design Apprenticeship program; she continues to mentor younger colleagues through various leadership roles within the AIA Pittsburgh’s Young Architects Forum, and AIA Pennsylvania’s Emerging Professionals Committee, mentoring in career development and obtaining licensure.
