Ruben Santos & Laura Campbell
Co-Owners / Principal Architects
The foundation of Laura and Ruben’s friendship, passion for architecture, and eventual launch of Convene Architecture, began at the University of Virginia where they were classmates in the School of Architecture. Laura then received her Master's in Architecture from Harvard University, and Ruben obtained his Master’s in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley. Laura and Ruben each bring more than two decades of architecture experience to their work.
Convene Architecture is rooted in Laura and Ruben’s shared commitment to their local community — Alexandria, VA — and the surrounding Northern Virginia and DC metro area.
With the Convene team, you can expect dedication and enthusiasm for every project.
