ABOUT 

The Vance Design Company is focused on delivering holistic solutions to the many challenges facing the design and construction industry. We work with our clients to deliver thoughtful and thought-provoking projects at any scale.

​

As a practice, we thrive at the intersection of planning, design, and construction. As the former Director of Design for ModularDesign+, Bobby Vance is continually implementing new tools to improve the effectiveness of the design and the efficiency of documentation. From a planning and construction perspective, Bobby works with clients, users, and consultants to evaluate emerging technologies and modular design strategies into projects, delivering an overall better product for the user and value to the organization. His omni-channel approach and collaborative nature bring a breadth of knowledge to any team he works with.

Bobby leverages his experience in both the profession and academia to bring a unique perspective to every project. He has experience in product design, commercial, residential, and healthcare architecture, design + build, project management, marketing, and fundraising. 

Prior to joining ModularDesign+, Bobby served as the Program Manager for the Center for Design Research at Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies. After completing both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture from Virginia Tech, Bobby joined the faculty in the School of Architecture + Design. Co-leading many design + build projects during his tenure, he helped lead the team to victory in the 2018 Solar Decathlon Middle East competition in Dubai with FutureHAUS, a prefabricated smart home exhibited in Dubai, Times Square, and Washington, D.C.
