| Architecture Firm Renaming and Branding | |||||||||||
| Renaming and branding of a 40-year-old architecture firm in NYC. I worked closely with the principals to develop the new brand. This included helping the principals identify strategic goals, the firm's historical precedents, internal and client valued strengths and cultural knowledge. The resulting name, daSILVA Architects, was chosen for a founding partner (since retired) who is universally respected by the firm's cliental and other architects in the industry. The ensuing design process borrowed heavily from the current partner's ideals and references--connecting their goals for the firm and their architectural style with a visual reference and environment. | |||||||||||
| AIGA NY Mentoring Program | |||||||||||
| I co-chaired the program for 3 years. The program is a one-on-one mentoring program that pairs creative high school students with professional designers and architects. Each program year contained college prep programs, large group educational workshops, and overarching program goals (capital campaign, national mentoring push, international outreach). The program reached 60 students each year. | |||||||||||

| A research project focused on identifying potential new technology, in the medical and health care industries, that would reduce care giver burdens. Project included primary and secondary research. | |||||||||||
