Dane Astle, founder of Edifice Architecture, a boutique commercial firm with projects spanning Arizona. Dane’s journey to opening Edifice in 2018 was more than a career move—it was the fulfillment of a ten–year vision that began when he graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in architecture.
But the roots of his determination stretch back even further. Growing up as the seventh of nine children, Dane learned early the value of hard work and resilience. When his family relocated from Huntington Beach, California, to Provo, Utah, after his father’s development work slowed, life required sacrifice and grit. Whether earning half the money for a school trip or pitching in at home, those lessons shaped the work ethic that would eventually fuel Dane’s success as a business owner. Dane now shares how faith, perseverance, and vision helped him build a firm that not only designs buildings, but brings lasting value to every client it serves.
