Melissa Steenport is an Architectural Designer at Sutro Architects’ Healdsburg office. Before the typology (and location) shift into custom residential, Melissa spent five years working in high-density affordable housing, as well as commercial work with Paulett Taggart Architects in San Francisco.  Notable projects include the Ground Transportation Unit in the Terminal 1 Expansion at SFO Airport which was recently certified LEED Gold.

Melissa graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Architecture, a minor in Sustainable Environments, and interests in Studio Art and Digital Fabrication. Melissa is an avid painter and illustrator with a growing knowledge of wood, leather, and metal fabrication and craftsmanship. Her modest, backyard studio in her hometown of Glen Ellen is home to many tactile and material explorations.
