Masuda Yasmin

Whether multifamily and senior living residences, commercial, or healthcare, Masuda’s knowledge of codes, life safety, and building system integration are always critical factors for project success. With more than 25 years of experience, Masuda’s background blends architecture and community planning so our clients benefit with fresh insights about not only the specific site, but also how it is impacted by its surroundings.

Masuda also has experience in K-12, governmental, hospitality, industrial, and historical facilities, including new buildings, renovations, and tenant improvements. She studied architecture because it combines her love for art and design and seeing her vision on paper come to life is very gratifying. Her favorite building in Arizona is the J.W. Walker Building on the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue and Washington Street. Originally a J.C. Penney store, it has been restored and is now the home of American Institute of Architects, Arizona.

When she’s not at work, Masuda enjoys traveling, gardening, reading, watching movies, and spending time with her family. She has wonderful memories of her trips to Sydney, New Zealand, and Paris. She loves to cook and eat Indian food.

Her favorite motivational quote is “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” – Maya Angelou
