Welcome: Cathy Schnug to Bernardo Wills
Great design relies on more than creativity and technical expertise. It depends on strong collaboration, thoughtful communication, and the people who support every step of the process behind the scenes. We are thrilled to bring Cathy Schnug into our team as an Executive Assistant, continuing to elevate these standards and the way we support our team and clients.
Cathy was drawn to the architecture field by a desire to be part of a dynamic, collaborative environment where learning and contribution go hand in hand. What she enjoys most about working in an architectural firm is witnessing the full journey of a project.
In her role as Executive Assistant, Cathy values the variety of each day. She works closely with firm principals and team members, supporting a wide range of projects and responsibilities that keep the studio running smoothly. Her position allows her to connect across teams, keep communication flowing, and contribute to the structure that supports creative work.
She brings a unique perspective to Bernardo Wills through her background across multiple industries, including IT, oil, and healthcare. This diverse professional experience has shaped her adaptability, problem-solving skills, and ability to support complex teams.
Cathy enjoys walking through buildings with architects and listening as they describe design intent, materials, and detailing. Experiencing architecture through the eyes of designers gives her a deeper appreciation for the thought and care that goes into every decision.
While much of her work happens behind the scenes, her attention to detail and people-first approach help ensure projects run smoothly and teams stay connected. Cathy is excited to be part of a firm that values creativity, collaboration, and respect for the built environment.
We are proud to welcome Cathy Schnug to Bernardo Wills. Her perspective, enthusiasm, and support play an essential role in strengthening our team and enhancing the experience we provide to our clients.
