Graeme Haunholter

Biography

Graeme Haunholter is an intern architect and freelance designer based in Edmonton, AB. His background in product and graphic design lends particular interest to nuanced considerations at varying scales. As an avid photographer, his work has been published both online and in print internationally.

Statement

Joining the RAIC EP Committee was a chance to be part of the national body of young professionals advocating design excellence through responsible architecture, while providing a sense of continuity on the path to licensure. As the external communications and media chair, I’ll have the opportunity to develop and strengthen the presence of the Emerging Practitioners group among schools, firms, and individuals.

Statement

As the incoming vice-chair of the RAIC EP Committee, I am determined to create an open and inspiring community of young practitioners and encourage minorities to complete their licensing and stay in the profession.
