Séamus is an architect with a passion for crafting inclusive and high-performing educational environments from early childhood learning through higher education. He specializes in integrated project delivery, including progressive design-build and GC/CM models, and is skilled at managing collaborative teams and processes to create well-crafted learning facilities that support student development and well-being, provide reliable and efficient operations for decades, and enrich the local community. As a project manager, Séamus aligns the design effort around client values and goals, with unwavering commitment to budget and schedule performance. Projects like Blakely Elementary School and Washington School for the Deaf demonstrate the exemplary, award-winning results that serve as a national model for design.

Séamus has worked with multiple institutional clients on creating more inclusive restrooms, and to broaden thinking on inclusive design as a member of Mithun’s gender equity taskforce. He enjoys participating in community design-build projects and pro-bono efforts like the Quilcene Education Pavilion, Cascade Bicycle Club headquarters and creation of a natural play structure at Hilltop Children’s Center. Séamus is also a periodic speaker, sharing lessons learned from projects and studies at educational and design-build conferences and events.
