Our People

Erin Woyahn

Accountant

Although not an architect or interior designer, Erin is a key part of the Lindsey Architecture team. As our accountant for the last several years, she’s handled the task of making sure our books are balanced and we’re in the black, where every business needs to be to grow and prosper.

Accounting wasn’t her first love, however. As a college undergraduate, Erin was torn between getting her degree in journalism or accounting. She chose journalism with a focus in advertising, but once out of school discovered that jobs in that arena weren’t easy to find. She decided at that point that accounting made more fiscal sense and returned to college to get a Masters in Accounting. We’re glad she did, because that eventually led her to join our team.

Erin and her husband have three children who keep her busy with their many activities. A Greensboro native, she earned her degree in Journalism and Masters in Accounting at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Sam Franklin

AIA, NCARB - Senior Project Architect

Renovating and design are, you might say, in Sam's blood. By day, he serves as a senior project architect for Lindsey Architecture -- a 27-year career he has thoroughly enjoyed. By night, he spends his time renovating historic structures, such as an 1860s-era farmhouse and a 1977 Airstream, as well as traveling and taking road trips to quirky roadside tourist traps. His professional architectural experience spans most vertical markets, designing and managing projects of all scales and sizes for the public and private sector across the United States. He is passionate about capturing the aesthetic and culture of a client and centering his design around those nuances, while creating spaces that exceed expectations. He appreciates that each project is unique and enjoys the "puzzle" they form and discovering how the pieces fit together. Sam holds two degrees from NC State University -- Bachelor degrees in Architecture and Environmental Design in Architecture.

Elizabeth Aguilar

Interior Designer / Project Manager

Elizabeth is a project manager and interior designer, working across studios and market segments, and streamlines the firm’s efforts to be efficient in permit processes. She is motivated by problem-solving and creating solutions that seamlessly blend both beauty and practicality.

She received a Bachelor of Interior Design with a minor in art history at East Carolina University. She is passionate about historic preservation and upcycling. Living in a time where everything is so disposable, she loves taking something that was once special and making it unique and beautiful again.  

In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys cooking and trying new recipes. She is a diehard college basketball fan who is RYT-200 licensed in yoga and teaches class once a week. She lives in Greensboro with her husband, two sons, cat, two dogs, and koi pond.

Eric Hilgendorf

Architectural Technician

Eric joined the Lindsey Architecture team as an Architectural Technician in January 2019 to aid in key projects such as Cook Out, the Greensboro Science Center Zoo Expansion, an expansion for Ziehl-Abegg, along with many other projects that keep him busy on AutoCAD much of the workday. Eric gets satisfaction from putting in hard work to then see the final result exceeding expectations of our clients. Although he didn’t always realize he would enjoy being an Architectural Technician while growing up, Eric wanted to find a job he was passionate about and eventually found himself pursuing his Associates Degree in Architecture and Design from Seminole Community College, graduating in 2004.

Eric’s love of cars brings him to Indianapolis Motor Speedway as often as he can afford, and when he is not busy being a great husband and father or binge-watching The Great British Baking Show. Eric moved to North Carolina in 2013, and currently lives in Summerfield, but growing up in Wisconsin gave him the passion to always root for his Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Milwaukee Bucks.

While he hopes to someday experience Oktoberfest in Germany, Eric is excited to bring projects to life for our clients as well as take on the responsibility to keep life in our office by watering the multiple plants growing in the Lindsey Architecture office.

Amanda Wyrick, AIA, NCARB

Project Architect

After completing her internship here at Lindsey Architecture in 2017, Amanda became a part of our full-time staff as an architectural designer in June 2018. In May 2024, she became a licensed, registered architect in the State of North Carolina and currently serves as a project architect for the firm. She earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design in Architecture and a Bachelor of Architecture with a minor in Business Administration from NC State. Amanda produces architectural designs, renderings, and construction documents for projects including: the Greensboro Science Center Revolution Ridge Zoo Expansion, Statesville Regional Airport's Terminal, and the Greensboro Rotary Carousel.

Childhood experiences influenced her toward a career in architecture, mainly art class in high school and observing residential construction throughout her youth. These expressions of design, and their compatible integration into one career, led her to pursue her degrees in architecture. Her biggest inspiration comes from being supported in a profession in which she and her father share an interest. While her father was unable to attend school for architecture, he started his own contracting business and supported her to become an architect, as well as the first person on his side of the family to graduate with a four-year degree. 

While Amanda enjoys what she does as a project architect, her hope of winning the lottery so she can purchase a large house to fill with cats and dogs to love and care for still stands. Besides purchasing lottery tickets, you can find Amanda spending her free time watching The 100 on Netflix and with her family in Stokesdale, NC. The Wyrick family has a close-knit bond and a custom of having a family dinner at least once a week, family golf outings on the weekends, and brother/sister basketball contests. If you ask Amanda what she would title a movie that was based on her life, she will proudly respond with “Amanda Kung Fu Panda.”
