I build and lead practices inside design firms.
Much of my work has been seen through the lens of climate strategy. In practice, it has been about organizing teams, defining services, and helping firms connect their expertise to the evolving needs of their clients. At Gensler, that became a global practice that scaled across regions and integrated into projects firmwide.
I think of architecture as the meeting point of physics and feeling, where performance and story reinforce one another. The work is not only to design better buildings. It is to help firms operate in a way where that level of thinking can happen consistently across teams and projects.
Over nearly three decades, I have helped design organizations translate complex challenges into structured practices that support both design quality and business growth. My focus is not sustainability as a specialty. It is sustainability as literacy across leadership, studios, and delivery.
That work has taken shape across workplace, civic, cultural, education, and sports practices, building and scaling teams across regions, establishing services that translate technical expertise into client value, embedding early-phase analysis into planning and design decisions, and developing firmwide playbooks that bring non-experts into the work. It also includes shaping client narratives that align ambition with budget, risk, and operations so ideas can move forward.
As a writer and speaker, I focus on translating technical rigor into language that builds trust and sharpens decision-making. My forthcoming book, The Renormalization of Sustainable Design, explores how performance, design, and cultural relevance can operate together.
I am interested in roles where I can lead and strengthen a practice from within. The work is to build the systems, teams, and clarity that allow design excellence and performance to reinforce one another at scale.
Serious about design. Intentional with impact. Unexpectedly human.
