We are thrilled to congratulate Drew Wilgus, AIA, LEED AP, on his promotion to Associate here at Smith Sinnett Architecture!

Drew is a registered architect with 19 years of experience, bringing a strong balance of functionality and aesthetics to every project. A graduate of the University of North Carolina-Charlotte with a Bachelor of Architecture and a minor in Urban Studies, he is a LEED Accredited Professional and holds NCARB certification. As a member of the American Institute of Architects and the U.S. Green Building Council, Drew is committed to sustainable and high-performance design. His expertise in performance, presentation, and documentation software enables clients to fully visualize projects throughout the design process. He believes that architecture is more than just buildings—it is a source of pride for owners, occupants, and all involved in its creation.

As we sat down to enjoy a Thanksgiving lunch together today, we reflected on how grateful we are for all who are a part of the extended Smith Sinnett Architecture family: staff, clients, consultants, colleagues, friends. We couldn’t achieve our successes without the collaboration of our greater team and community.  We thank you!  We hope your Thanksgiving is rich with good cheer.
