With a career spanning over three decades in environmental/experiential graphic design, my passion lies in transforming the built environment into compelling experiences. At ODC llc, which I founded in 2010, we excel in creating brand and environmental strategies that inform, engage and captivate. Our services, ranging from brand and retail design to signage and wayfinding, are tailored to elevate each client’s unique brand story.

Throughout my career, I have honed my expertise in leading complex projects for a diverse clientele, ensuring each project’s vision is realized with excellence. Collaborating with architects, urban planners, and interior and landscape designers, to create memorable places for industry giants like Disney, Honda, Facebook, Microsoft, NBC and MGM. My commitment is to innovation and the meticulous execution of design from concept design through installation.

What I love about experience design

I love solving complex wayfinding problems and working in collaboration with other design disciplines. But I really love getting things BUILT!

Best piece of advice I've ever heard

I have two… 1. From a Creative Director – “Be approachable, be flexible and be a good listener” (all of which make for a better designer and better team player) 2. From a volleyball coach – “If you are losing, you better be learning”

Where I find Inspiration
