Culture

We’re a team of dedicated professionals who take our craft seriously—but not ourselves. Our office is a lively, collaborative space where creativity thrives, conversations flow, and the occasional playlist keeps the energy up. Dogs are often snoozing at our feet, and on powder days, you might catch us carving out a little time on the slopes. Our hybrid work model provides staff with flexibility to work from home and the rewarding opportunity to be in-person at our creative studio in the heart of Truckee.
At MWA, we value intelligence, curiosity, and the ability to see both the details and the bigger picture. Our team stays ahead of the trends, bringing high levels of creativity and a passion for design to every project. We approach our work with integrity, fostering an environment where collaboration, respect, and openness help us consistently deliver our best.
We believe exceptional design begins with listening. By blending practicality with imagination, we create spaces that feel authentic and meaningful to the people and places they’re meant for. Our connection to nature and our love for Truckee’s unique culture inspire us to craft work that feels timeless and deeply rooted in its environment.
We are passionate about learning, growth, and opportunity—not just in our projects, but in our team. Whether it’s developing new skills, exploring creative challenges, or celebrating wins (big and small), we support each other’s professional goals and successes. If you’re passionate about design, excited by challenges, and eager to join a team that values creativity, connection, and camaraderie, we’d love to meet you.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend you for your wonderful skills as a designer, architect, and job supervisor. When I hired MWA as my architectural and design firm for my residential remodel in Nevada City, California, I couldn’t believe how efficient your company was in both guiding the project to a very quick permitting process, but more importantly a superb design concept. Working with you and Kurt Reinkens was a total gift for me. First of all, our many meetings were so efficiently handled from both the detail of setting the agendas, to your suggestions, notes, photos, and summaries of the sessions by the next day. Your talents and skillsets really kept the design process right on track! Also, I was amazed at your computer and internet shopping skills regarding all of the many choices such as Fergusons lighting, appliances, Kitchen and bath fixtures, granite choices, etc. In every case you made my shopping (and I really don’t like to shop much) efficient and rewarding. You not only designed our work flow charts accurately but you made the difference in
keeping us stress free on the timeline you created for the job. What a pleasure working with a very smart and together professional!

Love to you, and thanks for truly making my mega remodel come out so beautifully.
