Esther Alva AIA

Associate | Project Architect

Esther is a Southern California native who hasn’t strayed far from home. Born and raised in the Culver City area, she knew she wanted to be an architect by the time she was six, when her parents built the family home.  Esther has always believed in Architecture’s profound effect on the human experience through the sense of space, and designing a family home is the most intimate practice of design.  Living in Southern California and raised by a general contractor also gave her exposure to a variety of architectural typologies as well as hands on experience with the pragmatic challenges of the build.

​

Esther is a licensed architect in California and a member of the AIA, having received a Bachelor’s of Architecture from Woodbury University with a minor in Psychology. Interests outside of Architecture include singing, woodworking, hiking, camping and exploring the National Parks. She is currently on a mission to explore all 63 of the National Parks with her husband. She also is a proud mother and lover of animals.
