Carrier received both his bachelor's of science in architecture in 1979 and his master's degree in architecture in 1981 from the University of Michigan Taubman College.

“I’m honored to have received this award from Taubman College where the foundation for my professional career began,” says Carrier. “Our work seeks to achieve meaning beyond physical structures. We are passionate about leveraging the relationship between built environments and the public spaces that inform them.”

The firm is headquartered in San Diego with satellite offices in Los Angeles, New York and Seattle. Carrier has assembled an impressive history of award-winning work in both the public and private sectors.

He is a passionate advocate for improving urban settings through the integration of quality architecture and design.

In the heart of San Diego’s downtown, Carrier’s notable work can be seen in the lively Gaslamp Quarter, the stylish Little Italy neighborhood, the vibrant Central Business District, and the emerging East Village District. 

Carrier is certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards and is a Registered Architect in California, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Maryland, Michigan, Texas, Missouri, Iowa, and Virginia.
