Christina Nguyen

AIA, NCIDQ, LEED AP BD+C
Associate Principal, Sports, Recreation, and Entertainment, Atlanta

Christina is driven by a love of lifelong learning, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a deep passion for athletics. She’s seen firsthand the power sports have to shape physical and mental health, well-being, and resilience—and as our Atlanta studio’s Sports, Recreation, and Entertainment practice leader, she brings that passion to life through architecture.

For Christina, holistic design shapes how people experience and interact with spaces. She’s energized by experiential design and by the many dimensions of human interaction: sensory, emotional, intellectual, pragmatic, and social.

Human connection anchors her work. Christina is deeply committed to community-building, inclusion, and wellness, and she carries those values into every project.

Through active listening and thoughtful stakeholder engagement—in charrettes, workshops, and collaborative design—she builds strong relationships and keeps the focus on user experience and connection to culture.
