QA+M Architecture is excited to welcome three new professionals to our growing studio: Anna Shakun | Associate / Architect, Aubrey Espanta | Interior Designer, and Lyndsey Giudice | Design Professional. Each brings a unique perspective, diverse experience, and a shared passion for thoughtful, human-centered design.

We had the opportunity to speak with each of these talented professionals about what inspires them in the field of architecture and design.

Lyndsey Giudice shared, “There are so many possibilities when it comes to bringing a design idea to life. I really enjoy getting to problem solve and learning about all the ways you can create a space.”

Aubrey Espanta, IIDA, added, “In this profession, I have the privilege of designing spaces that can make a positive difference in people’s everyday lives. Each project is a new opportunity to learn and to create environments that feel meaningful and thoughtfully tailored to those who use them. Being able to make this kind of impact is what makes my work so fulfilling.”

Anna Shakun, AIA, LEED AP, reflected, “What I love about my work is being challenged each day by the complexity of creating with people and for people. I enjoy pursuing balance, requiring both artistic vision and technical precision, refining the smallest details while holding onto the larger concept. I see my work as making art that engages with history and culture, embraces contemporary functional demands, sustainability, and technology, and ultimately shapes spaces that inspire better living.”

We’re thrilled to have these professionals join our team and contribute to QA+M’s mission of delivering design excellence. If you’re interested in joining our studio, visit the “Join Us” section of our website to explore current opportunities and connect with our team of passionate professionals.
