Design Technician
Anne grew up in the Reno/Tahoe area, surrounded by the outdoors and ski slopes from a young age. She developed an interest in architecture from her mom who would always point out the beauty in buildings wherever she was. After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture she moved back home to the mountains.
Anne joined MWA in 2020 after working for some time in the Truckee area helping with residential development. She is now working towards developing her architectural and design skills with the goal of one day becoming a Registered Architect.

Kristi/Karin,
On October 18, we moved into the new house that you designed for us and have been enjoying it immensely. It is even nicer than we had envisaged when we were looking at the plans on paper. The living space (Great Room, kitchen, eating area) are working out perfectly. We’ve had two sets of guests up already and having all that open space has been very handy. All the large windows in the back (Great Room, kitchen, master bedroom) make it feel like we’re camping. The steel staircase complements the exposed steel beams and posts and is a phenomenal centerpiece as you walk into the house.
We greatly appreciate the collaborative way in which you worked with us to come up with this design. We had some ideas on what we were after when we began the process, but you were able to shape our inchoate thoughts into something really spectacular. You also were very proactive in talking with the town’s building department and submitting our permit application at a fortuitous time for us. We also valued your input on what it would cost to build the place. Interestingly, despite COVID and all the related supply chain issues we’ve experienced over the past year and a half, our actual construction cost came in very close to your original ball park estimate.
Thank you very much for your partnership in helping us realize a real dream home.
All the best,
Joe Naylor & Karen Torres
