Miles Baker
Junior Project Architect
Meet Miles Baker, our enthusiastic Junior Project Architect at TriVistaUSA Design + Build! Growing up in Ashburn, Virginia, surrounded by a wave of emerging residential developments, Miles developed an early fascination with home design and construction. His childhood was filled with the thrill of hunting for floorplans and illustrating hundreds of his own designs, inspired by the projects he admired most.
Miles took his passion to James Madison University, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Architectural Design. Before even graduating, he gained valuable experience as an Architectural Intern at Van Metre Homes, focusing on drafting and redlining home plans and elevations. His keen eye for detail has become one of his greatest assets, allowing him to recognize the small elements that contribute to a project's overall success. In addition to his architectural pursuits, Miles launched a small car detailing business in Northern Virginia, fueled by his love for cars and a desire to master the art of care and maintenance. This entrepreneurial spirit is a testament to his relentless drive for excellence.
What truly sets Miles apart is his lifelong commitment to creating joyful and impactful experiences through design. He believes that every project is an opportunity to craft architectural moments that resonate with people. With a vision centered on thoughtful execution, he’s dedicated to elevating each project to the highest standards.
When he’s not busy designing, you’ll find Miles immersed in the world of music. A former percussion student for seven years, he has recently taken up mixing and producing original house and dance tracks, channeling his creative spirit into vibrant soundscapes.
