Our Team

Cathy Cerdhe

Job Captain

With three years of experience in the architecture industry, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my 16-year background as a Certified Medical Assistant. That experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for precision, problem-solving, and genuine care for people—qualities I now apply to every project. After earning my B.S. in Environmental Design from Arizona State University, I was able to combine those skills with my passion for creative problem-solving. Since joining Hillside Architecture in 2022, I’ve enjoyed working on industrial and commercial projects within a collaborative and innovative team environment.

As a Job Captain, I help guide projects from concept to completion—coordinating drawings, details, and consultant input to ensure smooth execution. I take pride in bridging design and technical documentation, supporting our team through collaboration and thoughtful communication across disciplines. One of my professional highlights includes leading two projects through the permitting process, which provided valuable insight into how multiple disciplines integrate within a single building.

My focus areas include industrial and commercial architecture, where I’m known for bringing organization, clarity, and coordination to complex projects. I’m inspired by continuous learning and improvement—each project offers a new opportunity to grow and refine my craft. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and discovering local favorites in food and activities wherever I go.
