“Opening our Buffalo office wasn’t just the next logical step — it was a response to the relationships we’ve already built in Western New York,” Matthew Broderick, president & CEO of Ashley McGraw Architects, said in the announcement. “We’ve been working with clients in this region for years, and now we can work even more closely with them. Plus, with several of our team members already calling Western New York home through our hybrid work model, this expansion feels like we’re simply putting down roots where we’ve already been growing.”
Ashley McGraw also announced it has appointed Roxanne Button as associate principal to lead the Buffalo office. She brings more than 30 years of experience in architecture, interior design, and sustainability consulting in both the U.S. and Canada. Previously, Button was principal of Design Synergies Architecture in Buffalo, which she founded in 2012 and focused on collaborative, sustainable, and resilient design.
The addition brings Ashley McGraw’s employee count to 83. Button is the lone full-time employee in the Buffalo office as of now, but four additional employees provide services for the office through the company’s hybrid work model, Derek Goodroe, director of marketing at Ashley McGraw Architects, tells CNYBJ in an email.
