THE VERB PHILOSOPHY
Architecture begins with action. At Verb, we believe that first action is listening. This means understanding our clients’ visions for their spaces before putting pen to paper. Listening is the catalyst that sparks ideas and transforms your vision into a tangible space, but it doesn’t stop there. Good architecture isn’t static. If we truly understand your goals, your space will speak by the interactions it creates and a design that moves with time. This all begins with listening, and at Verb, we’re all ears.

OUR PEOPLE
Rion Snowden
“I have always been interested in designing spaces that facilitate life, interaction, and experience,” Rion said. “Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients, contractors, and construction professionals who bring valuable perspectives to the table. The magic really happens in collaboration, when every voice is heard, and the space comes to life to serve the project’s and the people’s best interests.”
Rion says his greatest adventures thus far have been being a husband and a father. An unapologetic family man, Rion and his wife Joy enjoy spending time with their two sons, Ralph and Davis, at their home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
