About 

I have five years experience in retail architecture, building over 50 stores from the initial survey and design phases through construction administration. I am currently Kenneth Park Architect’s Project Manager for Chanel Beauty and Fragrance. My team and I complete upwards of 15 stores annually. Previously, I was Project Architect for L’Occitane and Kate Spade Outlet at KPA, as well as Coach stores at Sargenti Architects. I provide design input and constructability feedback to the store design team, as well as working directly with construction project managers, engineers and landlords.
