Alicia joined BVH in May 2020 as an architectural intern after earning her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. An Omaha native, she later pursued her Master of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis before returning to BVH as a full-time member of the Omaha studio.
Her interest in architecture grew from a belief that design holds the power to shape lives. With a lifelong desire to help others, Alicia sees architecture as both a tool for connection and a way to create spaces that enrich the way people live and interact.
Outside of the studio, Alicia finds joy in making—whether that’s sewing her own clothes or exploring new crafts and techniques. She also loves traveling, a great playlist, and spending time with her cat, Olive.
What is your favorite place you have visited?
Norway and Tenerife are at the top of my list.
What is the most impactful thing you’ve learned in your career so far?
A positive attitude goes a long way. There will always be challenges, but how you respond—and what you learn in the process—matters most.
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by the people I’ve met through design. I love noticing what catches their eye when they first walk into a space—what draws them back, and how they experience design from a fresh perspective outside of the architectural lens.
