Founding principals Russell Acton and Mark Ostry lead the practice with principals Derek Fleming, Michael Fugeta, Alex Percy, Mark Simpson, Matt Wood, and director of operations Ruth Chau. Since its establishment in 1992, AOA has evolved a carefully considered design approach that, with its particular blend of poetry and pragmatism, breathes life into even the most prosaic of programs and enriches the everyday experience of architecture.
