Avery (Summer Intern)
Front Desk Employee & Architectural Intern
Avery was with us during Summer of 2025 and is now back for another summer before starting her 5th and final year of Architecture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a minor in Landscape Architecture. After studying abroad in Berlin for a semester of her fourth year, she has grown very fond of the city and hopes to return eventually after graduation. Avery really enjoys art and design, but also has a passion for natural landscapes and exploring the outdoors. Once she graduates, she hopes to use her degree to integrate more ecological systems into the built environment around us, and support communities’ rights to fresh food while maintaining their own sense of identity.

She plans to use her education to expand architecture as a remedy for many issues the Bay Area faces, such as homelessness and poverty.
