Vocon / 366 Madison Avenue, New York, NY
2017 - 2020

• Collaborating with clients, consultants, engineers, and landlords throughout each of my projects, I bring a passion for architecture and design. Through transparent and collaborative organization of my project teams, and through my belief that all projects can make lives better for my clients and their publics, my focus has been on design development to project close-out and delivery. Raising the level of expectancy among my project’s clients, and contractors, I believe that through clear and consistent communication, multi-scalar project planning, and effective partnerships and a collaborative process, each project can achieve continuous improvement by carrying forward previous lessons, while improving upon past successes.

• Relating to past work in historic preservation, I have developed architectural projects tasked with the sensitive re-purposing of multiple national, regional, and local historic landmarks; presented in front of city and local board approvals, and found ways to design contextually contemporary spaces which increase usable floor area, while meeting rigorous financial guidelines set forth by clients and their agents. Through my work with various private financial services firms, I have played a leading role in project documentation and delivery, quality control, and project management; collaborating with clients, contractors, designers, and senior project architects, principals to create meaningful and effective design solutions throughout the process.

• Fostering open and constructive design dialogue among his project teams, I have a passion for mentorship, ensuring each project is an opportunity for learning, growth, and advancement for junior staff. I’m always inspired by collaborating with clients, and the public, and I believe firmly in open and transparent leadership, outlining clear and consistent frameworks, project goals, roles, and initiative, and action oriented tasks. I bring a rigorous sense of order to each of my project teams, leveraging these structures to engender open dialogue across the project team; collaborating towards ever more innovative solutions.

• Dedicating myself to the cultivation of an inclusive and collaborative workplace, I have dedicated additional time and efforts to each office I’ve worked at to enhance the workplace culture in the form of Lunch + Learns, cross-office symposia, design oriented film screenings, book clubs, firm-wide instructional seminars, volunteering and event planning, as well as open and engaging multi-disciplinary design charettes, and numerous multi-scalar improvement initiatives. As a systems minded thinker, I am a passionate advocate for emerging voices; always seeking to create constructive spaces which encourage critical thinking and open dialogue, strategically developing individual talents and expertise, and building upon past successes and lessons as a key aspect to continuous improvement, the firm’s projects, and the office at large.
