Matt Gvist

I was born on the naval base in Portsmouth, Virginia. My dad was in the Navy, so we moved around quite a bit when I was young. I’ve called Texas home since 1988 and Houston since 2000. Married for 28 years, I’m a proud dad to Madison and Grant.

I graduated from UT Arlington with a BS in Architecture. Growing up, I loved sketching stadiums and ski resorts, which I think led me to pursue architecture. The best part of my job is seeing our designs come to life and witnessing students’ and staff’s reactions on their first day in a new school. I take pride in creating thorough, easy-to-understand documents for our clients and contractors.

Outside of work, I enjoy music, dogs, movies, yard work, and detailing cars.
