Zachary Samuelsen

Bachelor of Design in Architecture
University of Florida

Zach joined BDG in early 2026 as an Architectural Associate. Originally from South Jersey, he moved to Florida just before starting high school. He went on to attend the University of Florida, where he earned his Bachelor of Design in Architecture. While UF’s curriculum focuses heavily on conceptual early design, Zach chose BDG to further develop his technical skills in CAD and construction documentation. He is currently assigned to the Chase Interior Retrofit team, where he is helping bring new life to existing branches through interior renovations. He views this role as an important first step toward achieving professional licensure. Outside of work, Zach enjoys spending time outdoors, playing basketball, going to the gym, cooking new recipes, and listening to music.
