With a distinguished 23-year career in Environmental Design, I’m profoundly committed to enhancing user experiences within various built environments. My expertise in balancing intricate design requirements with budget and schedule constraints has led to the successful completion of numerous internationally recognized projects. My leadership in guiding both domestic and international teams has been pivotal in the execution of acclaimed hospitality, casino, and retail ventures, as well as bringing kinetic art into public spaces.

My portfolio has won an array of awards and recognitions, highlighting my role in projects that have set industry benchmarks for luxury and innovation. The Saint Regis Beach Resort in Saadiyat Island Abu Dhabi, having been honored as "Abu Dhabi’s Leading Beach Resort," stands as a testament to my dedication to design excellence. My tenure with Hirsch Bedner's Hong Kong office further solidified my reputation, with projects like the Grand Hyatt City of Dreams in Macau and Marina Bay Sands in Singapore earning prestigious accolades.

I have prior experience with Dougall Design Associates and Universal Studios Hollywood that showcases my versatile design capabilities and my ability to conceptualize and transform spaces. Now residing north of the Golden Gate, I continue to apply a sustainable design philosophy to projects such as wineries, culinary endeavors, light industrial spaces, high-end residential, and actively contributing to the Sonoma County community through public art installations.
