Since her time as a student at Damascus University, Wafaa dreamed of starting her own architectural firm. Upon immigrating to the US from Syria, Wafaa secured a position at an architectural firm in Contra Costa County and excelled at her work despite language and cultural barriers.
With the goal of opening her own design firm at the forefront of her mind, she worked tirelessly to obtain independent projects and establish herself within the community. In 2013, after obtaining her Architectural License, Wafaa realized her dream and founded WA Architecture + Design. She established a philosophy that utilizes a holistic design approach with the goal of creating spaces that foster health, comfort, and connectedness to nature.
Over time, as clients and professionals within the community interacted with her and experienced her work firsthand, her name grew. Wafaa began to attract a steady flow of happy, enamored clients who were blown away by her personability and passion for her work. Wafaa is a vetted professional in architecture, and brings along the expertise to work on any scale of project: small to large, residential to commercial.
