Cheers to Nathan’s Work Anniversary!

Join us in celebrating Nathan Hirt, who has been an invaluable part of the Thrive Architects team since 2023! Over the past year(s), Nathan has brought curiosity, dedication, and a strong design mindset to every project he touches.

His contributions span a wide range of community and commercial projects, with standout work on Evin Phase II in Oconomowoc, where his attention to detail and commitment to quality will make a significant impact on the project’s success. His experience also includes key roles on Diamond Visions in Oak Creek, the City of Waukesha Badger Drive Transit facility, the Stor-it Right in Oconomowoc, Phase II, and the Lighthouse School Addition in Madison.

Nathan’s thoughtful approach, attention to detail, and willingness to jump into any challenge have made him a valued member of our team. We’re grateful to have him at Thrive and excited to see all he will continue to accomplish!

Happy Work Anniversary, Nathan!

Cheers to 5 Years, Angie!

We’re excited to celebrate Angie Streckenbach, who has officially reached her 5-year milestone at Thrive! 

As a licensed architect with nearly two decades of experience, Angie brings not only expertise but also leadership—backed by her M.B.A. Certificate in Leadership. She launched Thrive’s presence in our Appleton office and continues to grow the business while building lasting industry connections.

 

From Highland Crest Baptist Church and Fetch Play & Sip (an indoor dog park with a twist!) to Wolf River CBRF, SouthEast Eye Clinic, and a variety multifamily developments — Angie has proven her ability to design across many sectors.

 

When asked what she’s most proud of at Thrive, Angie shared: “I enjoy the challenge of working within existing parameters—so a redevelopment opportunity like creating apartments in a former nursing home at Riverpark Apartments was a fun one for me while at Thrive.”

 

Outside the office, you’ll find Angie on the golf course, reading by the campfire, or experimenting with her sourdough starter (yes, it’s been going strong for years!). Her day starts with hot black coffee and often winds down with a chai latte.

We’re grateful for Angie’s talent, leadership, and energy—and can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds!

Cheers to 1 Year with Thrive, Jonathan!

We’re excited to celebrate Jonathan Tews on his first anniversary with Thrive! Based in our Madison office, Jon brings incredible energy, collaboration, and design expertise to every project. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies and a Master of Architecture degree from UW Milwaukee and has been a valuable part of our team ever since.

Some of Jon’s proudest projects include Southern Lakes Church, Wauwatosa Self Storage, and the Vertical Investments Residence (Simic House). His first year at Thrive, Jonathan has enjoyed company outings, the holiday party, our 10-year alley celebration, as well as site walkthroughs and design collaboration across the office.

Outside of work, Jon is just as active—golfing with friends and family, playing softball through the summer and fall, and snowboarding during the winter months. His go-to snack is a classic combo of a candy bar and soda, and here’s a fun fact: Jon studied martial arts for eight years and earned a 2nd degree black belt!

We’re grateful for everything Jon contributes to Thrive, and we can’t wait to see all that he’ll accomplish in the years ahead.

Celebrating Edgar’s 1-Year Anniversary at Thrive!

As September comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to recognize Edgar Enriquez, who has officially hit his one-year mark with Thrive!

Edgar joined us as an experienced designer, bringing a strong foundation from National University Philippines and design contributions across New Hampshire, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Since then, he’s been a key part of our team, shaping projects like Evin Senior Living and Franklin Storage Mart, while also bringing expertise from past collaborations with brands like Kohl’s, Marcus Theaters, Pick ‘n Save, Guess, and Louis Vuitton DFS Galleria.

Edgar shares: “I find inspiration in expressing my artistic talent through the design and construction process, bringing unique ideas to life.”

We’re so glad Edgar is part of the Thrive team and can’t wait to see the amazing projects he’ll create in the years ahead!

This month marks a special milestone as we celebrate David Raschka’s 7th work anniversary with Thrive Architects!

Over the past seven years, David has been an invaluable part of our team, bringing dedication, passion, and expertise to everything he does. His commitment to excellence and unwavering work ethic have not only contributed to the success of our projects but have also inspired those around them.

At Thrive, Dave has been part of the larger “marquee” type projects in the office including Evin at Oconomowoc, Castle Senior Living project currently under construction and White Stone Community Church in Summit which is just getting into construction.

A few personal work goals Dave is looking forward to is continuing to grow and develop our recreation sector, as well as continue to push the design aesthetics of all our projects.

David not only takes his job seriously, he also likes to play hard. He has been known to be quite the pool shark. And has participated in the ACS and WSPA statewide pool tournaments for 8 years. With his most recent success in a Scotch partners event, taking 5th place last year out of 140+ teams!

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for David’s hard work, loyalty, and contributions. Here’s to many more years of shared success, growth, and memorable moments together!
