ALL LEADERSHIP

“It is tremendously rewarding to partner with our clients to positively impact the lives of those in our communities through the design of the built environment.”

Successful Civic projects have one major characteristic in common:  Collaborative Teams.  Good ideas come from anyone on the Team.  I am passionate about leading Teams through the collaborative process to achieve great design and build a facility that meets and exceeds expectations in every way.

“I love working with our clients to take advantage of the opportunity in projects to not only design excellent facilities, but the opportunity to create positive change in the individual lives affected by these facilities.”

“I believe that there is great opportunity in every school project, large or small.  Working collaboratively with engaged stakeholders allows us to design projects that truly make a difference. Delivering an inspiring project that positively impacts students and the school community is an amazing feeling.”

“My role is to design an approach, assemble the right resources, and guide a collaborative process towards outcomes that advance the client’s mission.”

“The art of architecture cannot be realized without engineering creativity and innovation. I enjoy our integrated approach that allows me to collaborate with our architects to make our clients desires a reality.”

“Being a part of a team that is truly passionate about creating a firm that has profound impact on the communities we serve while building on our core pillars of relationships, performance, and design motivates me every day.”

“One of the most rewarding feelings is seeing a long term client relationship develop from the beginning of our first project to a partnership where we trust, value, and leverage each other’s strengths to create truly great environments together.”

“Steve Jobs said it, and I’m a firm believer in that ‘the only way to do great work, is to love what you do.’”

“I thrive on understanding and creating realities for my clients, community and team.”

“My passion lies in bringing great design and technology together to exceed our client’s needs, while mentoring the next generation of architects”

“I am excited to continue to see us grow and expand our services and markets in the Hawaii region, and look forward to an exciting future.”

“California’s Community College system is a huge piece of who I am, so I’ve loved paying it forward with my last 20 years of Higher Education design.”

“I enjoy the entire process of either transforming an existing school or developing a new campus by taking a project through programming, design, and construction. The most rewarding part of being a school architect is the first day of school when the students, staff and entire community can celebrate their new environment.”

“I am a product of the California public schools, from Kindergarten through my university degree. And I am so grateful for the personal and career opportunities that education has afforded me, that I dedicate myself to making sure others get that same opportunity.”

“What drives me as an educational architect is the design of inspired, transformational spaces which provide all students with limitless opportunities for personal growth and success.”

“It is truly a great honor to be a part of a profession that has every opportunity to positively affect the daily lives of all people.”

“Workplaces that are planned and designed correctly, enhance the human experience, build community, and provide the backdrop for augmenting culture for the better.”
