KURT RODRIGO, a Southern California native, joined FGA in 2018 after gaining years of experience designing commercial and custom residential projects in New York City.

Kurt focuses his practice on listening well, carefully calculating design decisions, and being aware of the continually shifting complexities of a project. He strives to balance creativity with practicality and enjoys helping clients identify what they find visually appealing. Kurt earned a Master’s Degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University and graduated with honors from CalPoly, Pomona. Outside of the office, you’ll find him playing sports, traveling, reading, and watching reruns of the sitcom, “The Office.” He enjoys spending time with his wife, friends, family and chi-weenie, Brooklyn.

“Thanks to modern technology, I find a world of inspiration through online research. When I identify a special project, I study it because there is always a lesson to be learned from precedents. I can employ what I’ve discovered in a new way and see where the results lead.”
