My name is Steven Barcikowski and I am a recent graduate from the 3-year Masters of Architecture at the University of Washington. I received a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Design from San Francisco State University in 2011. With a strong academic foundation and practical experience, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to the field. My professional journey has been guided by a commitment to sustainability, evident in my projects that prioritize environmental responsibility and a positive impact on communities. As a dedicated advocate for human-centered design, I am adept at translating user needs into innovative and aesthetically pleasing solutions. Eager to contribute my skills to collaborative and forward-thinking teams, I am excited about opportunities that align with my values and allow me to make meaningful contributions to the world of design.
