Unleash their mission. Unlock their potential.
These brief mantras drive Luke Johnson in his design work and actions each day. He’s a gifted architect with a remarkable knack for achieving design beauty and excellence, yes, but it's how he connects his craft to community impact where he shines even brighter. Luke’s created award-winning and community-transforming work for PK-12 schools, colleges and universities, healthcare organizations and civic entities.
Luke also thrives at sparking positive impact outside his work at CannonDesign. He’s been a board member for the Buffalo Architecture Foundation, served as a chair of the Architecture + Education program and launched an educational outreach program for Buffalo-area Native American youth. His work takes all shapes and trajectories, but it’s all anchored in elevating others.
