Background

About Alan Paden

My greatest pleasure working as an Architect is when I get to take a client's vision and turn it into reality, working with them each step of the way. Due to the current pandemic my status is open. I am taking this change in employment as an opportunity, not an obstacle. I am eager to explore new challenges and see where this takes me.Previously I worked at a small to mid-sized Architecture firm that went through a number of name changes but the players remained the same. I've specialized in technical project types, either directly though lab design or indirectly when managing work that includes challenging coordination issues such as replacing mechanical or electrical systems in existing facilities.Before the architectural career I spent nearly 17 years working in management for Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI) in Portland and Anchorage. That background has given me considerable skill in customer service and communication in general. I love what I do and am excited every day I get to come to work!
