Taha was selected as the 2020 Erwin-Ramsey Fellow and quickly transitioned to full-time employment at brwa. His entry into the world of architecture grew out of two parallel things: a fascination with visual representation and cultural expression through architecture, and reflecting on the contrast between functional and dysfunctional spaces.

Taha grew up a little bit all over the place but mostly calls himself a Michigander. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan, getting exposed to fundamental design theory and architectural tectonics. The natural next step was pursuing an M.Arch at the University of Virginia, where Taha got to understand architecture more holistically as something in harmony with site, landscape, and culture, including regarding issues of injustice and inequity through design.

Since coming to Charlottesville, Taha, his beautiful wife, and his two young sons have fallen in love with the city. In their free time, they love visiting nearby nature spots as well as having family over to check out Cville and surrounding areas.

Taha currently serves on the Board of Cultivate Charlottesville.
