Dewberry announced that Will Oren, AIA, NCARB, has been hired as a senior project architect in its Sacramento, California, office.

Oren brings a unique understanding of global architecture, having worked on projects in China, France, and Morocco. He has been in the industry for more than 12 years and specializes in mirroring the built environment with other related industries, including engineering and construction. Since joining Dewberry, Oren has supported the Philz Coffee project, which emphasizes creating welcoming environments in existing structures.

In his new role, Oren is responsible for design, documentation, preparation of design-build criteria, and client and subconsultant coordination for projects related to healthcare, food and beverage, and commercial markets. 

“As an architect, it is exciting to be part of a multidiscipline firm to contribute to and draw upon the diversity of knowledge and resources,” says Oren. “I think integrated projects enhance context and increase the potential for creativity and problem-solving, and I look forward to tapping into other disciplines and perspectives to create the best projects for clients and our communities.”

Oren earned a master’s degree in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley (2007) and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Harvard University (2001).
