Tony Pacheco-Taylor
AIA, LEED AP Principal | Education Practice Leader Email TonyMy name is Tony, and I’m excited to have rejoined Studio+ as a Principal and Education Practice Leader in California. I previously worked with Studio+ nearly a decade ago, and I’m grateful to return to a team that played a meaningful role in shaping my career. With over 18 years of experience delivering educational projects across California, I am passionate about advancing impactful work that supports future generations of learners.
I’ve always been drawn to the design of educational environments because of the profound role architecture plays in how we live, learn, and connect. Thoughtfully designed spaces have the ability to elevate the student experience, foster a sense of belonging, and create lasting community impact. I believe that great design goes beyond buildings, it’s about creating environments that inspire growth and opportunity.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, wine tasting, and spending quality time with my wife and two sons. These moments keep me grounded, continually shaping my perspective and reinforcing my belief that great design starts with understanding people.
