William Grimes

Experience

1. Principal

   Scj Alliance

   Jul 2018 — Present · Spokane, WA, US

   Bill managed SCJ\'s Spokane office, previously home of Studio Cascade and has been the architect and mentor for internal leadership transition. As a principal at SCJ, Bill adds his planning, urban design, and public engagement skills to the company\'s already diverse mix of talent. The Spokane office also offers transportation, engineering, and landscape architecture services, expanding the practice into a one-stop shop for municipal, institutional, and private clients, assembled as part of Bill\'s vision for what the Spokane satellite office can be. Over the span of his leadership - and the leadership of his senior staff - the office has grown from a staff of four to a staff of 17. Annual sales for the office have similarly grown, from just under $1MM per year to more than $4.5MM.
