WDD Architects, which has offices in North Little Rock and Fayetteville, recently announced three staff promotions on social media. Nicol Pastran was promoted to architectural project manager, Abbey Redmon was promoted to associate and senior interior designer, and JoAnn White was promoted to associate, a series of company Facebook posts state.
According to the posts, Pastran joined WDD in early 2022 and practices both architecture and interior design. She earned a Bachelor of Science in interior design from Harding University in Searcy in 2015, then joined the lighting industry as a lighting representative for a central Arkansas company. There, she developed a passion for the technical side of design, which led her to complete a master’s degree in architecture at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
Pastran has worked on an array of projects, including historic preservation, high-end residential, churches, schools and theatrical applications. Projects she is currently working on with WDD include the Rockefeller Early Childhood Center in Little Rock and the new Multi-User Silicon Carbide Research and Fabrication Facility at the University of Arkansas’ Engineering Research Center in Fayetteville.
Redmon joined WDD in 2022 with four years of experience in award-winning luxury residential and commercial design. Her expertise in working directly with clients, conceptual design and project coordination lends a unique skill set to WDD’s interior design team.
Redmon earned a bachelor’s degree in interior design from the University of Arkansas Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design in Fayetteville. She has worked on government, corporate, education, religious and health care projects. Her current projects include the renovation and addition of Bogle Park Softball Complex in Fayetteville, as well as the interior renovation of the Stone Bank headquarters in Little Rock.
White joined WDD in 2017 and has 25 years of experience in the construction industry, having worked with owners, contractors and construction management firms as a contract administrator. She assists every party involved in a project throughout the construction process, and some of her duties include coordinating construction documents and acting as a liaison between the owner and general contractor.
White earned her construction industry technician certification in 2006 and sat on the board of the National Association of Women in Construction Chapter 12 for 10 years, serving as president from 2007 to 2008.
WDD was founded more than a century ago in downtown Little Rock by George Wittenberg and Lawson Delony. Since then, the company has amassed a vast portfolio highlighted by civic spaces such as city halls, convention centers, educational buildings, health care facilities, commercial offices and correctional facilities.
