Testimonials
My 5-year journey with WA Architects has been incredibly enjoyable. During this time, I’ve had the opportunity to take on greater responsibilities on exciting, large-scale projects, and being trusted to rise to these challenges has been extremely rewarding.
What I enjoy most about working at WA is collaborating with a team of knowledgeable Architects and Technologists with extensive industry experience. I’ve learned so much simply by asking questions and discussing architecture, even outside the context of our projects. Building strong working relationships has also been a highlight! There’s a great group of people here, and it’s a pleasure to work alongside them. Chris Platt | Building Technologist
The past 5 years with WA have been a truly fulfilling journey in my career as a foreign-trained Architect, now licensed in British Columbia. I’m proud to have contributed to a range of multi-family residential projects, and even more so to the team’s success on several major commercial projects. It has also been incredibly rewarding to have helped and witness some of my peers achieve important professional milestones along the way.
Since joining the team, every project and every collaboration has brought new opportunities to learn and grow. These experiences have shaped me into the professional I am today.
I’m deeply grateful to be part of such a talented and supportive group of individuals. The trust, encouragement, and opportunities I’ve received have allowed me to play a meaningful role in the work we’ve accomplished together. I look forward to continuing to create impactful, meaningful projects—ones that shape people’s lives—alongside this team and the clients who place their trust in our expertise. - Lance Ong | Architect AIBC
Over the past 10 years, my journey with WA Architects has been both rewarding and fulfilling. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of project types with varying levels of complexity, which has continuously challenged and strengthened my professional skills. I especially value the long-standing relationships that both I and our team have built with consultants and industry collaborators over the years.
What I enjoy most about my role and working at WA is the firm’s strong commitment to quality control, continuous improvement, and the dedication the team brings to every project and client. WA also places great value on ongoing education and knowledge-sharing, which is reflected through mentorship, learning opportunities, and open communication. Equally important is the firm’s culture of recognizing and valuing team contributions, creating an environment where everyone feels supported, respected, and encouraged to grow. - Kate Gibney, Architectural Technologist | Senior Associate
My five years at WA reflect a meaningful personal journey—from stepping into a new professional environment to growing into a role with greater responsibility and leadership. Along the way, I’ve learned the value of staying curious, giving full attention to people and projects, and approaching challenges with care. Many of the most rewarding moments have come from navigating uncertainty, learning from others, and growing together as a team.
What I appreciate most about WA is the culture of trust, respect, and genuine enjoyment in the work. There’s space to learn, contribute, and lead, while being supported by colleagues who value collaboration and openness. I’m grateful for the opportunities and relationships built over these years, and I’m excited to continue this journey with the firm. - Arturo Enriquez, Intern Architect | Associate
WA Architects has supported me throughout my journey to becoming a registered architect, providing mentorship and opportunities that have been invaluable to my growth.
During my time here, I’ve gained experience on a diverse range of projects, from multi-family residential to commercial, across both large and small scales.
Above all, my favorite part of WA is working alongside such talented and supportive co-workers, whose collaboration makes every project more rewarding. - Ali Somer, Architect AIBC
My 20-year journey with WA has truly been a roller coaster ride, and I’ve enjoyed all the ups and downs along the way. My most memorable moment was when I got hired by WA even after a not so impressive interview with Barry. I owe my 20-year journey to him for giving a newcomer without local experience the opportunity to work.
I’m so glad I found my calling here, and even more grateful for the amazing group of people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. People think it's weird but my favourite job to do is reviewing the shop drawings because I get to know about the project a lot deeper.
I’d like to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone at WA for their unwavering support and warm encouragement that have kept me on track. Special thanks to the leadership team for their generosity. - Mijeong Song, Architect AIBC | Associate
When I began working at WA, I had only recently repatriated to Canada and was looking to re-develop my professional life. I had also just started a young family. I was thus a little apprehensive of how I would fare, but the WA team instantly put me at ease by placing their trust in me right from the start. I found staff and management to be exceptionally supportive of my learning curve as I took on new challenges in an industry very different from my past experiences.
Over the years at WA, I have been given space to grow both personally and professionally. Most notable is my diversification from a purely administrative role into more project-specific activities. I was empowered to take on more challenging work and this has provided me with a path to advance in my career as an employee of WA. Through this process, I have come to appreciate, more intimately, not only the efforts and commitment of my fellow support staff, but also the hard work and dedication studio staff put into making each project a success.
WA has also exceeded my expectations on their understanding of the demands of a working parent, offering generous flexibility to allow me to prioritize the needs of my young son. And this is reflected in the company culture that goes beyond to build relationships between not only staff but also our families, as demonstrated in the variety of company-sponsored events taking place throughout the year. I feel valued as an employee and respected as a parent.
Altogether, I can say that WA welcomed me immediately as part of the team; continues to provide me with support and guidance, allowing me to constantly develop new skills; and recognizes my contributions to the successes of the firm. Such qualities are evident in the accomplished workforce I have the pleasure to call my colleagues. I look forward to many more fruitful years at WA. - Christine Wight, Office/Project Administrator
I’m proud to have been working with great people at WA for a number of years. While all projects have their rewards and challenges, having in a supportive environment where we try to enjoy the day to day makes it worth it.
WA has given me lots of opportunity to grow and continue to learn. Getting to contribute to a diverse range of buildings and stages has helped me become well-rounded in my career. I appreciate that our team foster a culture of genuine friendliness, mentorship and a sense of humour.
I’m also grateful to be part of a firm who generously donate to local charities, and follow through on their values in and out of the office. - Adrian Wong, Architect AIBC | Associate
