LEED AP If we don't feel like walking the 20 feet to our code book reference library, we just ask Margaret! Our walking encyclopedia has been practicing architecture for nearly 30 years and excels at details, coordination and joke telling. The next time you see her, ask her to tell the joke about moth balls.

AIA, LEED AP Jason wears many hats in our office. If you need design ideas, technical support, construction details or Kansas City facts, he's your guy! And if he’s not at his desk, look for him near the WAI server where he’s finding solutions for questions like “why isn’t the internet working?” or “what happened to that email?”.

LEED AP BD+C Ann is her name and construction management is her game. When she's not on a project site you might find her checking off criteria on a LEED checklist. If you happen to be visiting our office and suddenly hear high-pitched chipmunk voices, don’t run, it’s just Ann’s ringtone and it will be over shortly!

AIA, LEED Green Associate There have been several long periods of time where Mike's office was located at the airport helping with all of our KCI projects. His knowledge of our complex terminals and baggage systems is unsurpassed. Is this why he has the cleanest and most organized desk in the office? Maybe so!

AIA Ashley recently moved back to the KC area and joined the WAI team with nearly 30 years of architectural experience under her belt! When she's not in the office you might find her behind the sewing machine, quilting, reading or traveling to fun places like Denmark.

AIA, LEED AP There's one in every group, the sarcastic comic. That's Lindsey, and when she's not lightening the mood in our office she's making sure our Revit work habits are done correctly and properly.

LEED AP We have deemed Tony our quiet intellect. From obscure historical facts, beer making tutorials, to Revit how-to's, he's got an answer for nearly everything, you just have to ask! His knowledge of industry software and design details is beneficial to our team.

After years of attending WAI Christmas parties with his wife, the desire to participate in the Christmas craft activity on his own encouraged him to seek a position at WAI. He brings to the office a collection of unusual gadgets including solar dancing toys, Galileo thermometer, spinning tops, and an unusual knowledge of antique farm machinery as well as skills in technical architecture, construction administration and Revit.

Brent is our small project specialist. He has designed for clients ranging from the KC Zoo to Sporting KC. When Brent isn't working on designing a soccer related facility here in the office, you might find him riding his motorcycle to watch his teenage son play soccer on the field.

Our newest staff addition, Samantha, brings hospitality and interior design practice to the firm. We know she’s going to fit right in with her love of color + texture, repurposing material samples and her collection of Boulevard Smokestack series beers. If you don’t find her at the office she might be enjoying the park with her family or tending to her plants and kitty at home!

Hannah is a Kansas City native with a love for all things Interiors. Licensed under NCIDQ, she brings experience in designing both commercial interiors and custom fixtures. When not in the office she is probably building something for her son in her home workshop.

Questions about marketing, health insurance or why our elevator isn't working AGAIN? Just ask Debbie! She's been keeping the behind the scenes tasks in order for 15 years. Our resident "birthday fairy" always makes sure we have the cake of our choosing on our special day. POOF! Enjoy those calories!

Who's the first friendly face you see when you walk in the door of Wellner Architects? It's Elisabeth! We always look forward to her help with editing technical specifications, scheduling our continuing education classes, keeping the M&M bowls filled and other important tasks around the office.

Susan was the friendly face that greeted you in our office but now she's the friendly face that greets you on one of our job sites! She is keeping things in order at the new Blue River Biosolids Facility for the next four years!
