Office Manager

We're pleased to welcome four new staff members to our Maryland office.

Ellen Hagerty supports the firm as a Marketing Assistant. She has a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication from Towson University. Her passion for exploring the world’s urban and natural landscapes informs the way she approaches marketing in an architectural environment. In her spare time, she enjoys baking, antiquing, and attending concerts.

Garrett Walters joined GWWO after completing his Master’s in Architecture at The Pennsylvania State University. He also earned bachelor’s degrees in both Architecture and Geological Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He enjoys skiing, wine tasting, and fishing, but not all at once. An avid traveler, his most memorable trip was to visit the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.

Hunter Ehrhardt has joined GWWO as the firm’s first dedicated Interior Designer. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Architecture and Design at Marymount University, where she was a member of the Interior Design Alliance. When not cultivating the firm’s materials library or assisting teams in creating fantastic interior spaces, she can be found painting or developing new recipes.

Jayden Schexnayder brings his gift for public speaking, passion for drawing, and love for horror films to his new role with GWWO. As a student at Syracuse University, he earned a Bachelor of Architecture and participated in study abroad programs in London, Los Angeles, and New York City. Jayden also received a Dean’s Citation for his independent research project on architecture in horror cinema. His global design perspective is matched by a unique bucket list wish: to experience zero-gravity in outer space.
