RSP Architects Adds Michelle Matera as National Director of Marketing
APRIL 13, 2026 – RSP Architects is pleased to announce the appointment of Michelle Matera as National Director of Marketing. In this newly established role, Matera will lead RSP’s marketing strategy and brand development efforts nationally, strengthening the firm’s presence across markets and deepening connections between its expertise, client relationships, and long-term strategic objectives.
“We’re at a point in RSP’s story where the next evolution of our brand calls for someone who can bring together diverse markets, project types, and clients into something cohesive and compelling,” said Andrew Burnett, RSP Architects CEO. “Michelle has the curiosity and the rigor to do that, and the instincts to make sure we show up authentically for our clients across every sector we serve.”
Matera brings more than two decades of experience in marketing, brand, and business development strategy within the architecture, engineering, and design industry.

She has a proven instinct for meeting clients and markets where they are – tailoring how firms show up across sectors while maintaining a strong, cohesive unifying identity.
For Matera, the decision to join RSP was rooted in what she found when she looked closely at the firm. “What stood out to me about RSP is the strength of its foundation – long-standing client relationships, deep expertise across markets, and a collaborative culture built over nearly 50 years,” said Matera. “I’m looking forward to building on that legacy and helping shape what comes next – telling RSP’s story with speed, relevance, and authenticity that helps clients understand exactly how this team can serve them.”
