PHILLIPS & DONOVAN ARCHITECTS, LLC 

Heather was seven years old when she joined Phillips & Donovan Architect, LLC - no, really - her dad founded the firm in 1976. Back then, it was called George J. Donovan, A. I. A. & Associates. Heather could be found learning how to run prints for her dad. She can still smell the ammonia. 

​

She did not grow up to be an architect, however. She just married one - see Joe Phillips' bio. At Washington College, she studied philosophy, which, along with about 22 years of  homeschooling her four children, positioned her well for the challenges of a career in marketing and business management. Heather likes to refer to herself as Joe's "Everyday Gal Friday". 

​

Seeing new life breathed into old places is what Heather likes most about Phillips & Donovan Architects, LLC's work. She favors our adaptive reuse and preservation projects because of the way our design efforts seamlessly enhance a community's social fabric - knitting the past, present, and future together.

​

When she's not at work, Heather likes to hike, photograph, read, and kayak. Her family, church, and community are blessings in her life.
