Get to know [us]
Dustin | Project Architect
Washington State University
Welcomed to Uptic Studios 2 months ago!

What is your background?
Most of the 20 years of my design experience has been spent living in Seattle and Leavenworth and working on projects primarily throughout the Pacific Northwest and California. I am a well-rounded Architect having worked primarily in Residential, Commercial, Mixed Use and Work Place designs. I also have experience with Senior Care, Health Care, and Master Planning.

What do you do in your free time?
Reading and playing my guitars. Family time with my daughters and grandsons. I also love music festivals and all the standard PNW activities like biking, snowboarding, hiking and camping.

What is something about Spokane that intrigues you?
I like the surrounding mountains, trees and waterways. Landscape inspires me and I appreciate being able to go from wide open
spaces to woods to rivers.

Something you might not know about me…
Before I was an Architect, I pursued a degree and life as a visual artist with emphasis in drawing and painting. I also had a short career as a Naval Firefighter and spent two years in the Middle East and South Asia.

What do you most enjoy about working at Uptic Studios so far?
I like the studio culture. It is inspiring to see such a talented and energized team putting in the time and effort to work on great design and supporting each other in the process.

What is inspiring to you right now?
Having recently moved from Seattle back to Spokane and gaining a fresh perspective on my day today. I’m motivated by my family and my faith.

Install day as Spokane Sports moves into the historic Flour Mill, they brought [us] in to help transform the space into a flexible home base for everything their team does.

Our Procurement Studio helped to add furnishings, layout, and final touches, creating spaces for day-to-day office work, large meetings, seasonal equipment storage, and a comfortable place for athletes to occasionally land.

We loved finding ways to honor the character of the historic brick building while giving the space a fresh, functional feel that supports the energy and growth of Spokane SportsThis space will play a small part in the BIG things Spokane Sports continues to bring to our city.

Collab with [us] — Our Design team partnered with local artist Christy Branson Art Gallery & Studio to create a commissioned art piece specifically for a mutual client. Together, Julie and Christy explored materials, colors, and form to create something that feels right for the space while also reflecting the client’s vision.

This collaboration is a great example of what can happen when art and interior design are considered together from the start. We love finding opportunities to bring local artists into our projects and create something truly one-of-a-kind.

💫 Make sure to stop by her studio August 21–23 for her studio “Moving Sale” as she transitions into a new creative space. She’ll be offering artwork at special prices for the weekend only!

We created a design that feels both fresh and familiar. The Mustard Seed has a modern aesthetic with layered materials and bold architectural details. A distinctive exterior canopy welcomes you in, while the open dining room and intimate seating areas create a warm, inviting atmosphere inside.

A dramatic staircase. A living wall that stretches two stories. One of downtown Spokane's largest tenant improvement projects. At the Bank of America Building, we helped reimagine the workplace with architecture and interiors designed to elevate the everyday work environment.

Anchored by lush greenery, the new stair transforms circulation into an experience—improving acoustics, reinforcing biophilic design, and creating a healthier, more inspiring environment.

Commercial projects like this don't happen without great collaboration and we're proud to have been part of bringing it to life.

Large expanses of glass blur the boundary between indoors and out, inviting natural light in and making the surrounding landscape part of the everyday living experience.

The best places become part of the neighborhood's identity. Flying Goat has grown into that kind of place in northwest Spokane where wood-fired pizza, craft beer, and evenings around the fire pit bring people together. We're proud to have helped create a space that feels just as inviting as the community it's a part of.

Your environment shapes your habits! Creating a space that's designed for movement makes it easier to stay consistent and work toward your goals. When we design home fitness spaces, we think beyond the equipment.

A few design details that make all the difference:
• Natural light or an inspiring view
• Durable, easy-to-clean flooring
• Mirror to enhance form and visual openness
• Storage to keep equipment organized
• A little room to move comfortably for your favorite workouts ... and good music!
Whether it's a dedicated home gym, a corner in the garage, or a spare room with your go-to equipment, the best workout space doesn't have to be the biggest—it's the one you'll actually use!

This summer we're thrilled to welcome Gemma to the Uptic team!

A Spokane native and Gonzaga University Honors student, Gemma is studying Civil Engineering with a concentration in Structural Engineering. Through her internship, she's discovered that the intersection of architecture and structural engineering is exactly where she hopes to build her career.

Outside the office and classroom, Gemma enjoys hiking, running, strength training, and is currently training for her second half marathon.

Her favorite part of Uptic? The people. "From my first day, everyone has made me feel welcome and included. The team has created an environment where I've felt comfortable asking questions, learning from others, and growing professionally."

We're excited to be part of your journey, Gemma, and can't wait to see where it takes you!
