Professionally trained in Architectural and Environmental Design, Josh Pabst has a substantial portfolio of diverse project types throughout the US, China, Korea, and Malaysia. These include mixed-use office complexes, high-rise commercial towers, residential and hotel developments, and master planning for new sustainable cities. He has participated in many international design competitions and has traveled extensively to Korea and China in that role. Since 2016, Josh has been in the role of Lead Designer for several projects that are built or under construction. 

Throughout his career, Josh has focused intensely on the architectural design process, beginning with the analysis of physical and cultural context. His designs are leveraged and clearly communicated through story-telling, his strong graphic-eye, and beautiful visualizations.
