Zita Greenup Principal

Zita grew up in Czechoslovakia in a family of builders. From a very early age, she entertained herself by designing small homes, creating miniature furniture, writing, painting, and studying music and astronomy. After completing her training in architecture and urban design, Zita sought to put her knowledge and skills to the test through projects that were not well received in the communist system.

Inspired by the desire for freedom in design, she joined the Barrandov Film Studio in Prague. However, when her expectations were not met, she decided to explore other opportunities and ultimately chose to flee the country.

Zita spent a year in Austria before eventually making her way to the United States and settling on the West Coast. Despite achieving some accomplishments and gaining respect in the field of design, she had to start over in her new environment. To secure her first position, Zita offered to work for free for a week since she didn’t have a portfolio, which is typically required during interviews. The managing architect accepted her offer and hired her after just two days for a drafting position, recognizing her talent and skill and promising future advancement.

Completing architectural training in Europe involves rigorous coursework along with hands-on work experience on building sites and in offices, as well as earning a professional license.
