Associate Architect
Born and raised in the Philippines, Lea Arabel Cutillar earned her Bachelor of Architecture with Cum Laude honors and her Master of Architecture degrees from The University of Texas at Arlington. While in school, Arabel received a Jury Honor Award from Latinos in Architecture for her work on a project for the Philippine Embassy. After completing her studies in 2022, she worked as an Architectural Associate for Cornerstone Projects Group in Dallas where she gained experience in commercial and institutional projects with a special focus on single and multi-family residential and master-planned communities. Arabel joined the DNA Workshop Dallas office in 2024 where she supports and assists the team on a variety of projects, and will eventually work to become licensed. Away from the office, Lea loves spending time with family and friends. She enjoys the outdoors and visiting or camping in Texas State parks in addition to hiking with her partner and two dogs. When she can’t be outdoors, you’ll often find Arabel drawing or painting with her watercolors.
