“Danton excels at conceptualizing architectural projects, communicating design ideas to clients, and building consensus,” said Cope Linder Principal Cheryl A. Smith, AIA, LEED AP. “By attaining registration, Danton has solidified his commitment to the architectural profession and to our clients. We congratulate him on this achievement and look forward to his continued contributions to the firm.”
