As founder and CEO of Making A Mark, I specialize in leadership strategy and tactics for architects and designers. Helping architects to be better is my passion, and I am focused on improving architectural & design practices through growth in personal leadership skills and an advanced understanding of practice operations.
I am a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Construction Specifications Institute, and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).
My goal is to help architects and designers build successful teams and practices, by giving them the tools and strategies to evolve into effective leaders and create a productive work environment.
From leading the PPF to providing guidance on the AIAEB Board, I have always focused on mentoring to help other architects grow in the profession. The founding principles behind Making A Mark developed from this passion for mentoring, teaching, and coaching.
