Present design concepts, material boards, and procurement recommendations with confidence and clarity. Facilitate client workshops, programming sessions, and design reviews as appropriate to each project.

Conduct regular site visits; review submittals, RFIs, and product samples to ensure specification compliance. Navigate public‑sector project requirements including prevailing wage, state procurement rules, and public bidding processes. Quality & Innovation Stay current with industry trends, emerging materials, sustainable products, and technologies relevant to civic and library design.
