Posted on September 5, 2022September 5, 2022Michael Matty Michael Matty is an architect and construction project manager with unique cultural perspectives. With both parents being from St. Lucia but being born in NYC and raised in St. Croix, Michael hails from a diverse background: essential for his art and networking abilities. From a young age, he remembers wanting to become an architect and designer, drawing inspiration from his stepfather, a contractor who also serves as his mentor and with whom Michael works as an architect. Despite architecture being an early calling, Michael began his career in construction management. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management from Kennesaw State University in 2013 and interned for several years under the architect Renee M. D’Adamo. Though construction management and architecture are similar fields, Michael felt the need for further specialization to align with his earliest career goals. He returned to school, earning a Master of Architecture degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. In the past, Michael has worked for CBRE and currently works for RMD Architects, a woman-led local firm conducting business in the U.S. Virgin Islands with clients such as the University of the Virgin Islands and Sunny Isle Shopping Center. With RMD Architects, Michael holds the position of Associate Architect, where he works directly with the Principal Architect. He is an associate of the American Institute of Architects(AIA). Other positions Mr. Matty has held include Associate Project Manager and Project Manager. Michael’s most important advice for those pursuing a career in his field is to “do the work; there are no shortcuts.”
