His strong leadership ensures that the correct team is assembled and mentored to effectively deliver design excellence. He has received multiple local and international project design awards, published in numerous national trade publications and earned honors for service of dedication as membership chair of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA). For NBA, he is concentrating on corporate, multifamily and mixed-use complexes with hospitality components and thematic design elements.
