What’s been the most pivotal moment of your career so far?
“As of November 2023, I became a principal at Phinney Design Group. Michael R. Phinney, our founding principal, has been a longtime mentor and inspiration for my work. His entrusting me to help him build and continue to strive for design excellence and a better future was a huge confidence boost.”
What do you want to accomplish in the next 10 years?
“Over the next decade, my focus is on expanding our architecture firm to become a leader in sustainable design, emphasizing high-quality craftsmanship and creating unique spaces for people to live, work and enjoy. Our goal is to integrate sustainability seamlessly into our projects while pushing the boundaries of design excellence. We’re committed to fostering connections and enhancing well-being through our work, ultimately making a positive impact on the communities we serve.” – Brennan Drake, Principal Architect and Saratoga Office Director at Phinney Design Group
