Patrick joins Trivers after earning his Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. With prior degrees in Architecture and Political Science, his interdisciplinary background shapes a design approach grounded in community impact, cultural history, and spatial equity. His portfolio spans a range of work, from community spaces and commercial interiors, to public-facing urban design initiatives enriched by historical research and storytelling. Patrick has collaborated with cultural institutions, contributed to neighborhood revitalization efforts, and led community engagement processes that elevate resident voices in design. He has been recognized with several honors, including the Steedman Grant, AIA St. Louis Scholarship, and Edward Hubbard Pelton Scholarship. His practice is rooted in inclusivity, preservation, and the belief that architecture can be a platform for under-represented stories.

“We get that lines sketched on paper have a real impact in the world, so we think about consequence a lot. It’s more than the tangible building. It’s what the project does for the people we’re working for. It’s the ability for them to achieve their vision.”
Joel Fuoss, IIDA, LEED AP, Principal
“If you line up the buildings Trivers has executed, they’re all very different in a positive way. All our projects are rooted in ideas and context. It’s very apparent that we’re thinking about a specific project, for a specific client, in a specific location.”
Amy Gilbertson, LEED Green Associate, Fitwel Amb., Principal
“We’re passionate about design and practice. Our experience is that great design comes from being able to create great relationships among people from diverse skillsets and backgrounds.”
