LEADERSHIP

“I have always been drawn to designing educational facilities because architecture has a profound impact on how we live, learn, and experience life. In collaboration with our school district partners, we can significantly enhance the student experience by creating healthy spaces that inspire curiosity, foster collaboration, and support diverse learning styles so that every student can succeed.”

“The most satisfying aspect of what we do as Architects is engaging with our talented clients, colleagues, and construction partners.  I have had the great privilege of forming close relationships over the years, working collaboratively, and learning from these very capable individuals.  Working together we will continue to develop thoughtfully designed projects in support of our clients’ mission and the communities in which they reside.”

“Design is not just about creating beautiful architecture; it’s about forging meaningful connections with clients, guiding them through the process, and witnessing their satisfaction when their vision becomes a reality. Hearing ‘It’s exactly what we wanted’ at the completion of the project is the true reward that makes my job incredibly fulfilling.”

“As a Healthcare Architect, I am passionately driven to positively affect people’s lives through a collaborative project delivery process resulting in successful designs. While performing my leadership role on projects and within Lionakis, I am always humbled by and learn from the various clients, contractors, consultants, and peers with whom I interact.”

Market/Service Role: Interiors Practice Lead

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

“California’s Community College system is a huge piece of who I am, so I’ve loved paying it forward, spending almost all of my career in Higher Education design.”

Market/Service Role: Education Practice Lead

“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.”

Market/Service Role: Civic Practice Lead

“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.”
