Over my career, I’ve had the great fortune of working with incredible design partners on a broad range of acoustic assignments across the country. This includes everything from a single room to state-of-the-art media production facilities, multi-use complexes, sports venues, manufacturing plants, performance venues, laboratories, and hospitals. Along the way, I’ve been able to explore how acoustic design can be addressed and conveyed to stakeholders in better ways through acoustic measurement, modeling, and auralization.
I have sought to create acoustic environments that match the incredible aspirations that architects and building owners have for the facilities that they create and maintain. I’m forever in awe of the way that a beautifully and meticulously designed space can immediately transform your sense of space, express function, and convey meaning. To me, this careful balance of light, form, space, color, and tactility demands an aural environment that serves the same vision. It’s my firm belief that an acoustic design cannot be successful if it does not respect and complement a project’s underlying design goals.
At the same time, the engineer in me has been taking things apart and building anything that pops into my head for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been keenly interested in the ever-evolving ways that buildings are constructed, used, and reused. To this end, I’ve developed an endless fascination with the constructability, logistics, and sustainability surrounding nearly every aspect of the building industry, but especially the acoustic designs that I pursue.
Finally, somewhere along the way, I developed a passion for how specialty consulting services are managed and delivered to the AEC community, along with sincere passion for inspiring, mentoring, serving, and leading other designers.
I founded Auxia Design to explore new and innovative ways to deliver specialty consulting services to the AEC industry and to connect our clients with passionate, inspired designers who are every bit as excited about their projects as our clients are; designers who seek to collaborate, engage, and create amazing spaces.
