Christina grew up in Clinton, SC, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Clemson University. A first-generation college student in her family, she is thrilled to be part of a team that creates sustainable designs in the Palmetto state.

“I’ve always been drawn to Quackenbush’s commitment to the community and focus on sustainability,” she says.

She says a family home fire when she was a child sparked her interest in architecture. “I kept envisioning floor plans for my dream room, which ignited my passion of designing spaces for people. Designs that prioritize the needs and well-being of the people who use them."

Today, Wise says she is especially drawn to designing spaces that help people experience their lives more fully. “I’m fascinated by the process of incorporating sustainable practices throughout all phases of design.”
