In supporting the career development of its staff, SVA Architects has offered promotions to several of its stand-out leaders.  These advancements come after last quarter’s announcement that two of the firm’s prominent mentors—Nathan Herrero, AIA, LEED AP BD+C and Judy S.K. Cheng, MBA, LEED AP—were named Principal.  Continually promoting and recruiting to keep up with its growth, SVA is well-known for its emphasis on smart growth, use of public transit, and improved educational settings.

SVA Architects’ recently promoted team members, along with their new title, include:

• Daniel Ruiz, Associate Partner
• Hesam Khanaman, Associate
• Alain Peschard, Associate
• Nima Nikroo, Assoc. AIA, Associate
• Christine Vu, Associate
• Velma Anelo, LEED AP BD+C, Associate
• David M. Forman, AIA, QAQC Director, Associate
• Dean Hawkins, LEED AP BD+C, Associate

These multi-disciplinary individuals have been a part of the SVA Architects team ranging from one to six years.

Robert Simons, AIA, President of SVA Architects, states, “We have an extremely talented crew, and we want to empower each team member to rise to their individual potential.  As our firm continues to grow, we are prioritizing upward mobility for our existing team, as well as bringing in new staff.”

To support the firm’s recent growth, SVA Architects opened a new office in San Diego on Carmel Mountain Road approximately one year ago.  The summer of 2018, the Santa Ana office also moved to a larger space, and shortly prior to that, the Oakland office moved to a larger, very modern space in the Uptown District.
