Pigford joins Stantec’s Plano, Texas, office, while also supporting projects out of the firm’s offices in Irvine, California, and Phoenix, Arizona. In her role, she will focus on retail and workplace design and project management.

Prior to Starbucks, Gianna spent 13 years in the Dallas area working on several projects of note including the adaptive reuse of the Dallas County Record Building, renovation of the iconic Reunion Tower in Dallas, and renovation of the US Bank Tower in Los Angeles.



Pigford is an active member of the Dallas community and committed to professional and community improvement nationally. She is regularly involved with American Institute of Architects (AIA) Dallas, National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA), Urban Land Institute, Texas Society of Architects, and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ (NCARB) Experience Committee chair.
