Do you have what it takes to Be The Sherpa?
At Paragon Architecture, we strive every day to #BeTheSherpa for our clients. In fact, it’s our in-house motto. Those three words speak volumes about our culture, and how our team members think and serve selflessly. A Sherpa is a highly skilled and experienced individual who helps others climb seemingly impossible mountains. More than that, they fully understand the challenges ahead and humbly work alongside their climbers to ensure a successful journey. At Paragon Architecture, our mountains are our projects, our climbers are our clients, and we are the Sherpa.
