Our Culture

Childers Architect is a place where people are trusted to do their best work, supported by a collaborative, creative, and flexible studio culture. Team members are encouraged to contribute ideas, lead thoughtfully, and learn from one another as projects evolve, with an emphasis on shared problem-solving rather than rigid processes. As a 100% Native-owned firm with 40 years of experience serving tribal communities, the work is grounded in service and guided by a respect for each client’s history, culture, and traditions, while still embracing innovation, evidence-based design, and healthcare best practices. The firm is actively reflecting on how perspective, experience, and culture inform design, creating space for curiosity, growth, and continuous improvement. For those who value collaboration, creativity, and the freedom to work with purpose and intention, Childers offers an environment where meaningful work and professional growth happen naturally.
