Design team leader interested in pursuing opportunities that involve engagement with the design process – leading to the projects that are successful both functionally and aesthetically. The ideal role for me is to work within the framework of an integrated design team that approaches the design of architecture/planning from a holistic perspective.
My involvement with design has been to approach complex and varied national and international projects through utilizing an integrated process that is guided by an aesthetic vision. The perspective on architecture that I adhere to is derived from an investigation into the experiential nature of architecture in the way that it shapes perception – the psychological implications of space.
My professional experience has involved the management of the design process – overseeing the master planning, conceptual design, schematic design, design development, and construction document phases of significant architectural projects. As a part of my architectural explorations, I have served as an adjunct professor, teaching design at the university level, and I have led design teams efforts on a diversity of architectural competitions. Beyond being responsible for design oversight, I have been involve with marketing efforts – putting together proposals and making presentation, as well as mentoring junior designers and planners.
