Principal, Architect
Mathison | Mathison Architects
As firm principal and owner at Mathison | Mathison Architects, an award-winning architecture and design firm in Grand Rapids, Megan Feenstra Wall is passionate about creating spaces that matter to people and places that work for everyone. For the licensed architect, that includes designing for the breadth of human ability and driving change in the profession around the lack of women and diversity.
Active in her community, Wall has served as board president of the American Institute of Architects Grand Rapids and worked on a national taskforce to rewrite the AIA’s Framework for Design Excellence, the trade group’s guide to sustainable and inclusive design. She founded a local Women in Architecture group, juries and serves on advisory boards for Ferris State University and Kendall College of Art and Design’s architecture programs, and received the AIA Michigan Young Architect Award in 2016.
Wall said some of her most meaningful projects and collaborations include Special Olympics Michigan, St. Cecilia Music Center, Payload, Traverse City Whiskey Co. and small nonprofits like Thresholds, Disability Advocates of Kent County, UCOM and Alpha.
Past and present board work includes Design Week West Michigan, Children’s Healing Center, Ferris State Architecture Advisory Board and the Board of Formation for the MArch program at Kendall College of Art and Design. She also mentors students through the Peter C. Cook Leadership Academy, a program of Grand Valley State University’s Hauenstein Center.
