Architecture firm promotes former business alliance chair to partner

SARASOTA — Not long after graduating with a master’s degree, Amanda Parrish has found herself with a big promotion: partner. 

Fawley Bryant Architecture, a Sarasota-based firm she’s been with since 2016, announced the former director of marketing and business would now be a partner. 

“Amanda has excelled in every aspect of her position," says Stu Henderson, the owner and design architect at Fawley Bryant Architecture. "She helps make the company what it is by putting a premium on our culture. Amanda is a rock star who always delivers for our staff, our clients and our community, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the partnership."

Parrish will continue to lead day-to-day operations as the COO. That could include anything from team management and human resources to marketing and building partnerships and relationships with businesses and the community. 

Recently, Parrish finished her tenure as Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance board chair. She graduated in 2020 with a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Jacksonville University. 

"It is an honor to join the Fawley Bryant partnership," says Parrish in the release. "The trajectory we're on is because of our people and the amazing work, talent, creativity, passion and engagement I see every day."
