maggie wylie, aia, ncarb

Principal Architect and Owner
Licensed in TX, CO, & MI

Maggie has loved the art and science of architecture since she was young. Raised by an engineer and an artist she was exposed to the field through her uncle who, in the 1950s, trained under Frank Lloyd Wright’s protégé.

Wylie went on to earn a Bachelors in Architecture from the University of Arizona in 2009 and subsequently moved to Austin. After almost six years in design-build and construction project management, Maggie launched Point B with a mission to deliver an enjoyable, streamlined client experience by pursuing an effective synergy between design and construction. She seeks design solutions that are founded on candid conversations about the realities of budget, the construction process and client requirements.

With the help of a great team of employees and incredible clients, Wylie has conceptualized and grown Point B into a successful and expanding practice that is woven into the fabric of Austin’s rapidly growing built environment.

motoki hiromatsu

Associate Designer

Motoki is originally from Fukuoka, Japan but grew up on tropical island Okinawa. As a kid he loved being outside and often explored the urban environment and natural landscapes. Motoki quickly appreciated the urban landscapes and spaces where a multitude of people congregate to share a collective moment.

This fascination led him to pursue architecture—Motoki graduated with a Bachelors of Architecture from Oklahoma State University. During his academic years, he honed his skills by designing hospitality projects in China and Saudi Arabia.

Outside of the office, Motoki enjoys exploring the city by skateboarding around with his friends, seeking new restaurants to eat at as much as possible, or trying to capture a moment for his photography.

moshe wilke

Associate Designer

Moshe was born in Tucson, Arizona in the beautiful Sonoran Desert. As a youth his interest in design began at an early age. He gained practical experience and techniques from his father, a builder, and creativity and imagination from his mother, a sculptor. This launched Moshe's interest and eventually a Bachelor's in Architecture from the University of Arizona.

Throughout his academic career Moshe helped design and construct a variety of projects ranging from a grid-shell pavilion in Nova Scotia to a low-income loft house in Tucson. These experiences have given him a profound respect for design, craft and the impact it has on users.

After working in Tucson for an award-winning residential architecture firm Moshe was drawn to Austin’s growing and vibrant culture. When he's not in the office Moshe enjoys reading and all things outdoors—running, rock climbing, camping, and anything in the sun.
