Marley Porter began his architectural career in 1980 in Arizona, leading various planning, architectural and interior design ventures, but his career and life profoundly changed when he accepted the role of tribal architect to the Navajo Nation.

 While serving the Native American tribe, Marley developed a deep respect for the Navajo principals of living with nature that forever changed the way he approached architecture.

Today, Marley's passion for creating synergy between nature and the built environment can be seen at every stage in the development process - from conceptualization to design to construction.

His work has been featured in Progressive Architecture, Architecture Habitare, Better Homes and Gardens, Phoenix Home and Garden, Interiors, Vogue, and onGood Morning America and PBS.
