Athena Malate

As Big Block’s Junior Architectural Designer, Athena supports the design team by creating accurate drawing sets that guide projects from permitting through construction. She transforms concepts into technical plans, thoughtfully integrating structural, mechanical, and code requirements to support seamless collaboration. With a keen eye for detail and a tenacious approach to follow-through, Athena ensures designs meet Big Block’s standards for precision, reliability, and timely delivery. Inspired by the power of thoughtful design, her strengths in empathy and enabling others shine through as she crafts spaces that support comfort, well-being, and a sense of belonging. In her free time, Athena explores her creativity through cooking, photography, flower arranging, and arts and crafts, bringing the same passion to her craft as she does to her work.
