Janea Nakagwa | Principal & President

When Janea was younger, she thought about several different professions including journalism and fashion design, but she didn’t care for writing and she couldn’t sew.  She did like to sketch, however, and this aptitude led her to think that perhaps being an architect would be something she could do.

Janea joined BraytonHughes in 2005, bringing her project management and corporate design expertise to the company. She specializes in corporate, multi-family and residential interiors projects for a diverse group of clients. In addition to her project work, Janea currently serves as President. Prior to joining BraytonHughes, Janea worked at RMW Architecture + Interiors where she focused on a wide variety of corporate projects.
