Max Mahaffey, Principal, spent his formative years in the greater Chicago area before studying architecture at Iowa State University and The University of Texas at Austin. His interdisciplinary graduate work focused on the intersection of architecture, object & furniture fabrication, and art history. Often referencing the histories of art and architecture, he is interested in exploring new methodologies and strategies for how we may live.

Max enjoys spending time in nature; on a bike, in a forest, on skis, in the mountains. He believes the best work promotes our relationship with it; it provokes thought and elicits feeling interchangeably; and it begets curiosity.
