Darian Wagner, DAHLIN Principal and Senior Architect, has been honored as one of Pro Builder's Forty Under 40 Class of 2024. This prestigious recognition highlights young leaders who are shaping the future of the home building industry with innovation, energy, and exceptional career achievements.
Darian's journey in architecture has been nothing short of remarkable. Raised in a family of homebuilders, her passion for design was sparked early on, and she has rapidly advanced in her career. Darian became a Principal at DAHLIN just nine years after earning her M.Arch and BA in Environmental Design and Architecture from Montana State University-Bozeman. Her commitment to the profession began during her undergraduate years, when she interned at DAHLIN, and was further shaped by her hands-on experience working in construction to build her grandmother a home.
Now a key leader at DAHLIN, Darian's influence spans multiple regions, where she mentors teams in designing residential communities and low-density attached projects. Her focus on creating livable, valuable design solutions for homeowners and homebuilders alike has set her apart as a visionary in the industry.
