As Managing Principal of TBG Partners’ Houston office, I bring over 30 years of design experience and leadership expertise to inspire our team in creating meaningful spaces that leave a lasting impact. At TBG, I’ve had the privilege to guide the growth and evolution of our Houston practice, promoting a culture of creativity and collaboration that drives exceptional design outcomes. My approach to leadership is deeply rooted in practice. By staying actively engaged in the design process, I ensure my decisions are informed by a comprehensive understanding of design principles, blending strategic insight with hands-on expertise. Over the course of my career, I’ve led transformative projects across a wide spectrum of typologies, from master-planned communities and mixed-use developments to higher education, corporate campuses, and hospitality destinations. My passion lies in solving complex challenges through thoughtful, human-centered design solutions that are resilient and honor the unique narratives and aspirations of each client. Beyond the office, I’m committed to shaping the future of our industry. Whether mentoring younger talent, championing sustainable practices, or advocating for healthier environments and communities, I strive to contribute to a profession that not only designs places but also enriches lives.
