Marla Oveson
Project Manager
mo@archilogix.com
As Project Manager and industry technology geek, Marla is always ready for a new challenge. She credits the skills she acquired while enlisted in the Air Force with helping realize her childhood interest in the nuts-and-bolts of home design and launching her career into architecture and construction. Being first hired by a Sacramento Valley homebuilder, she was a member, and eventual manager, of the architectural team. She facilitated the construction of hundreds of semicustom and custom residences over 28 communities throughout the region. Transitioning her builder’s knowledge into architectural design and planning firms over the past decade, she has developed expertise as a project manager and technology leader with a diverse portfolio of project types. Recently, she acquired expertise in multifamily and industrial sectors before relocating to beautiful (and delicious) Sonoma County. Marla devoted extensive time and resources to serving the homeless population while residing in Sacramento Valley. Thrilled to be in Sonoma County, she is looking forward to providing the same service to her new home.

David Taylor
Architectural Job Captain

David claims himself to be the long-lost son of the North Bay. Raised in a family of artists, architects, technology, finance and social policy wonks from San Rafael, David was born and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Growing up David spent his summer’s visiting his extended family in the hills of Marin. His base of operation for exploring the North Bay was out of a modernist Charles Eames and Joseph Eichler hybrid-like designed house that his grandfather built which overlooked the Frank Lloyd Wright designed County of Marin Civic Center. David started his architecture career by studying art history and cabinet making. Architecture was a natural fit for David because it combined his love for art, technology, and building things. 8+ years later he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture from the University of Minnesota, College of Design as well as a Master of Architecture degree from University of Oregon in Portland where he studied urban planning. Arriving in the North Bay in 2013, David has designed and managed many local projects with several reputable North Bay architectural firms. His experience includes affordable housing, high-end custom homes, resorts and spas and local hospitals. David has a passion for designing healthy living environments. David is a happily married family man with two beautiful children. He enjoys spending his free time traveling around the west coast and beyond in his truck and travel trailer camping, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors with his family.
