David Taylor
Architectural Job Captain
dt@archilogix.com
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.

AJ Ellis
Architectural Designer
ae@archilogix.com
AJ Ellis recently completed his Masters in Architecture at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. So far, his professional experiences have taken him at a large commercial firm in Omaha, NE to a small firm in central Washington. While in Washington he was able to explore the Pacific Northwest and discovered more of the MSU design community in Seattle and Portland. Working in a variety of locations expanded his tangible sense of architecture in different places, which led him to Santa Rosa where he is applying the conceptual and theoretical ideas in a pragmatic setting. In school, his thesis centered on creating sacred spaces out of thresholds of deep time in nature. It was a reflection on what architecture has been for him, a spiritual journey. AJ worked his way through undergrad on building construction and flatwork concrete crews. Working in the field gave him an understanding of design from the ground up. Through grad school, he was chosen as a research assistant for a project custom-made for the Fort Peck Indian Tribe. AJ is originally from Colorado Springs, CO and enjoys ice hockey, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and hiking the northern California area.
