I'm Anna Davenport, an architect and designer based in Los Angeles. I blend architectural thinking with strong communication and marketing skills to tell compelling design stories and deliver integrated, human-centered environments. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at Rice University, building on my UCLA bachelor's degrees in Architectural Studies and Communication Studies to design with empathy, rigor, and clarity. Through internships at Stantec and Carlos Jimenez Studio and my role as Architecture Marketing and Communications Specialist at RDC Architects, I’ve learned to translate ideas into clear drawings, presentations, and proposals, while collaborating with clients, engineers, and contractors. I’m excited to contribute to sustainable housing, equitable public spaces, and thoughtful place-making.
