Structural Designer
Alexandra was raised in the Owens Valley, after which she moved to the Bay Area to earn a BA in Literature from San Francisco State University. She spent 5 wonderful years in Japan, and after returning to the states, was guided by a deep urge to build. This led her to an internship with a master cabinet maker, and a career as a finish carpenter for one of Reno's finest custom home builders. Currently, she and her cohort are helping to build the first accredited Architecture degree program in Northern Nevada at Truckee Meadows Community College, where she is on track to earn a Bachelors of Architecture. She is thrilled to continue her pursuit of building at MWA, and someday become a licensed architect. In her free time, you will find her in the desert, the mountains, or the forest, with a guitar and a notebook.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kristi Thompson and her team at MWA on both new construction and remodel projects and have greatly enjoyed the collaboration, I am always excited when new projects designed by MWA come across my desk because I know the end result will always be beautiful and thoughtfully designed. They do a great job of listening to the homeowner's wishes and work to develop a design and that fits their individual wants and needs for their new home. Each project that we've worked on together has had a clear vision and an insightful design. As a result, it is very easy for me, as an interior designer, to continue working with the client to make sure that the interiors are cohesive with the architecture, I also appreciate how easy it is to work with Kristi and her team during the constriction process if questions arise. I have learned a lot from them and hope to continue working together in the future.
