I enjoy the design process, focusing closely on the end-user. I balance this with a strong financial bias, knowing that great design is efficient on budgets, sustainable, and optimizes lifecycle costs. Ambiguous projects excite me. I am a natural self-starter, assembling cross-functional, committed teams that move quickly to produce high-quality results. I empower teams to turn thoughts, ideas, and concepts into action, while continuously finding ways we can make our work even better. My signature strengths are: - Cross-functional team leadership - Process efficiency and innovation - Architectural design - Financial and valuation analysis Expertise in Retail, Restaurant, Residential, and Institutional Design.
