Since joining LMS^A nearly 20 years ago, Principal Vanna Whitney has contributed an immense passion for housing under-resourced populations, engaging with diverse user groups, and winning neighbors over through design. This October, Vanna will be stepping down from her role at LMS^A to explore new career horizons.

We wish Vanna continued success in this next chapter and are extremely grateful for her impactful contributions to LMS^A. Her spirit and dedication have profoundly shaped our projects, culture, and populations served. With the firm since 2005, selected projects include Berkeley Way Apartments & HOPE Center, HomeRise at Mission Bay, Rene Cazenave Apartments, 474 Natoma, and Mission Walk.

“One of the important things about design is that it can help pave the way for acceptance by the community and create spaces that support the building of new, strong and healthy communities. You want a building to serve the people who will live in it, and you want it to serve the neighborhood. And if it does both, you've won.” - Vanna Whitney
