Don Caffrey AIA
Associate


Originally from the Northeast, Don moved west after receiving both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture from Miami University. Through his experience at Mithun, Callison and Integrus, Don developed  a wide range of expertise from residential projects - both single and multi-family - to commercial office, retail and mixed-use, to large scale K-12 projects. 

Don now applies this acquired expertise to GGLO’s Campus Environments projects and the daily design challenges that come his way. Don mentors junior staff in learning the design processes and shares with them the joy of bringing a project from concept to built reality. Don’s notable projects at GGLO include Garfield Station at Pacific Lutheran University; Bridges@11th, a partnership between Seattle Children's Hospital, the University of Washington, and a private developer; and several design-build concept packages for Washington State University.


Jasmin Dolores
Accounting Manager

Jasmin has been a member of the GGLO family for 14 years. As the firm’s unfailingly organized Accounting Manager, Jasmin supports the business of design by processing payroll, billings and accounts payable. She is known for her commitment, adaptability and finding new ways to streamline the accounting process, recently implementing a paperless interoffice transaction system. Jasmin loves working with numbers, so it’s fitting that she believes two heads are better than one. She thrives on working collaboratively, sharing her knowledge and learning from others’ experiences.



GGLO’s principals, associates and staff congratulate the talented members on their leadership and dedication.  As our firm grows and new talent is added to our group we will continue to build positive relationships with the unified mission of “design for the human experience.”
