A natural collaborator, she enjoys guiding clients and project teams through the design process to create thoughtful, functional solutions.

Fifteen years in, and we’re still blown away by the community that’s grown alongside us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone—from longtime collaborators and clients to friends, families, and new faces. This anniversary also serves as a meaningful moment to honor the late Sean Wagner, Founder and former CEO/President of NewStudio Architecture, whose vision and values remain at the heart of this studio. Seeing our office filled with conversation, creativity, and stories from the past 15 years was a great reminder of why we do what we do.

Two of our own reflect on what’s shaped the firm along the way:

“What’s always made the work meaningful is the relationships—we’ve never treated clients as separate from the process, but as part of the design team. That level of trust is a big part of what’s sustained the firm over time.”

- Melissa Martyr-Wagner, Director of Operations

“I think steady and stable is how you get to 15 years. We’ve been intentional about how we grow, which has allowed us to weather the ups and downs and stay optimistic. The same optimism I had when Sean first called me is still there.”

- Adam Jarvi, CEO and President

We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who has been part of the journey and look forward to what’s ahead.

Cheers to the next 15!
