Pioneer Arizona roots with an Ivy League education and New York work experience

Rousseau Design is proud to have Clyde Rousseau as its principle designer. He is part of a prominent Arizona pioneer family that has called Arizona home for generations. This deep personal association with regional history and architecture gives Clyde a unique connection with the Phoenix metropolitan area. Clyde received a professional Master of Architecture degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1990. His studies include course work at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and a semester in Rome with the Pratt School of Architecture. Early in his career, he worked in New York City for several architectural firms.
