Our Team

Angela Dean, AIA, LEED AP, LFA

Principal

Angela founded AMD Architecture in 1997 with the goal of providing quality architecture that is equally responsible to her clients and the greater environment.  Through professional experience, education outreach, and community involvement, she is dedicated to promoting all aspects of sustainable design.

As the author of Green by Design: Creating a Home for Sustainable Living, Angela shares the environmentally responsible design principles she holds dear.  Her goal, in the book and professionally, is to make green building and healthy living accessible for everyone.  She emphasizes the notion that green is not a menu of add-on options, but a design philosophy that integrates aesthetics, budget, function, health, and enjoyment.

Wayne L. Gordon III, Architect

Project Architect

After beginning his architecture career in his home state of Virginia, Wayne came west for graduate studies and has remained in Utah since. An advocate and expert in historic preservation, Wayne also recognizes that as knowledge and technology advance, new as well as timeless ideas can be incorporated and often used together harmoniously. His depth of experience and attention to detail creates elegant design solutions for a broad range of project types that AMD serves. When not architecting, Wayne likes to play music. He often performs with his wife at convalescent homes, senior centers, and such, to entertain those who are isolated from society.

In her free time, Jordan can be found in the mountains hiking and skiing.
