It is with great please that we announce the promotions of two individuals. Joyce Bergman, AIA and Ray Zabala III, AIA have been promoted to Studio Managers.

We are excited for the leadership they bring to the team.

Joyce was drawn to architecture because it combines her hobbies, art and carpentry, but at a grand scale. She began her career here as an intern architect, and skillfully became a valued asset to the design team. She has proved her merit with large projects such as multiple National WWII Museum expansion projects. She has been involved with projects at all phases of the design and construction process. Her responsibilities include schematic design, design development, code research, construction documents and contract administration.

Ray is a New Orleans metro area native growing up in Kenner Louisiana. His work has encompassed a wide array of project types including corporate and governmental office buildings, high-end residential, multi-family residential, cultural centers, primary and secondary educational facilities, and historic preservation. Ray takes pride in the lasting personal relationships he has developed with clients, consultants, and contractors.
