COLUMBIA, SC – Quackenbush Architects + Planners welcomes Robyn Fisher to the firm as Project Architect.
“The entire team is energized and delighted to have Robyn join us,” says Doug Quackenbush, President of Quackenbush Architects + Planners. “Her experience and her passion for design excellence perfectly complements our focus on exceptional architecture for our community and our clients.”
