Nate Jenkins Joins Sasaki to Lead the Firm’s Denver Architecture Practice
Sasaki is excited to welcome award-winning designer Nate Jenkins to the firm as an Associate Principal based in Denver. As the studio’s first architecture principal, Nate’s presence signifies a pivotal step towards expanding Sasaki’s built impact in the Mountain West region and across the firm.
With 28 years of experience in the architecture industry, Nate brings with him a wealth of expertise across building typologies, with particular strength in complex mixed-use projects that integrate housing, workplace, retail, and public space. He has worked locally and around the world, and possesses a deep familiarity with the Colorado Front Range and broader Mountain West region.
At Sasaki, Nate will lead the architecture practice in the Denver studio and play a key role in the design and implementation of commercial mixed-use projects, as well as support the firm’s education and civic markets.
“Nate’s commitment to design excellence and client success, his selflessness and collaborative spirit, and his business development acumen will be integral in helping us build our architecture practice in Denver,” says Victor Vizgaitis, Chair of Architecture & Interior Design. “I’m excited for him to be part of this next chapter of this studio as it enters its seventh year of operations.”
“I am thrilled to join Sasaki, which brings fresh, authentic perspectives to the practice of architecture and who the built environment is for,” says Nate. “With its interdisciplinary approach, Sasaki addresses what individual disciplines cannot solve alone, from tackling design and business challenges to creating better social and environmental conditions. The firm is uniquely positioned to continue to make an impact in the Mountain West region, and I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and get started.”
Nate is LEED AP certified and received a bachelor’s degree in architectural design from the University of Washington.
