To him, design is the medium through which we process and engage with the world around us. In his role as Co-CEO, Nick inspires the firm’s creative talent and champions our mission to continually innovate and explore how design can ennoble the human experience. Nick’s work ranges from large-scale master plans to intimate exhibit designs and includes civic buildings, performing arts centers, museums, and institutional facilities across the globe. Distinguished for his considered design sensibility, Nick meticulously examines each site’s relationship to its environment, history, and intended use.
