Garrett is the Founder and Principal of DESC Architecture.

His experience spans a diverse range of multiple markets, including office, retail, industrial, automotive, food service, and single-family residential architecture.

Garrett holds both a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Architecture from UNC Charlotte. During his studies, he was selected for the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) program, an accelerated track that enabled him to achieve architectural licensure at the age of 23, distinguishing him as one of the youngest licensed architects in the country at the time.

He is passionate about providing exceptional service to his clients and creating spaces that invoke life. From this, DESC Architecture was formed to help clients design spaces where life happens.

Outside of the office, Garrett enjoys exercising, fishing, biking, and spending time traveling with his family.
