Brandon David

Brandon David, LEED AP, is an Associate at Rodwin Architecture. He has 11 years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial construction as a carpenter and Site Supervisor in the Rocky Mountain area. After moving to Boulder in 1999, he worked for a high-end custom green home builder until 2006, when he joined Rodwin Architecture. His passion for design/build has led to a career in architecture, where he uses his broad construction expertise to create high quality, thoughtfully-crafted buildings. Brandon worked on the National Champion C.U. Solar Decathlon project and has a deep interest in green manufactured housing. He received his B.S. in Architecture with Honors from the University of Utah in 1999 and a Bachelor of Environmental Design with Honors from the University of Colorado in 2004.

Kirsten Snobeck

Kirsten Snobeck, Associate AIA, LEED AP, is an Associate at Rodwin Architecture. Her interest in sustainable architecture was first cultivated while studying abroad in Denmark, where she was exposed to the environmental and community benefits of co-housing and architecture that treads lightly on the earth. Designing custom homes on Nantucket brought the challenge of creating architecture within a fragile ecosystem and unique historical fabric. While on the east coast, Kirsten participated in green building and solar design workshops at Yestermorrow Design/Build School. Her desire to design truly sustainable buildings prompted a move out west, where she joined Rodwin Architecture in 2007. She currently volunteers for Habitat for Humanity’s Metro Denver & Flatirons chapters. Kirsten received her Bachelor of Science in Architecture with Honors from the University of Virginia in 2004.

Ronnie Rowcotsky

Ronnie Rowcotsky is an Intern at Rodwin Architecture. He graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design. He has over 9 years of experience in computer-aided design, both in his academic and professional career, and a lifelong passion for understanding and engaging the built environment. When he’s not in the office you can usually find him playing music, snowboarding, tossing the frisbee, or eating a delicious Chipotle burrito.
