About Chris
Architect, Real Estate Entrepreneur, & Design Executive
Where Experience Meets Innovation
Architect with over 20 years at the intersection of architecture, real estate development, and strategic design, I've built my career on transforming spaces and reimagining possibilities. As a licensed architect and former Senior Vice President leading design strategy for a 40-million-square-foot real estate portfolio, I've developed a unique perspective on how thoughtful design can drive business value.
My journey has taken me from designing award-winning residential developments to directing complex mixed-use projects worth billions across North America. Along the way, I've learned that the most impactful solutions come from challenging conventions and reimagining what's possible.
My Approach
Whether leading a billion-dollar portfolio, advising a startup developer, or working with independent clients, I bring the same principles to every project:
Strategic Vision — Seeing beyond immediate challenges to future opportunities
Design Intelligence — Using design as a tool to solve complex problems
Cross-Disciplinary Thinking — Bridging the gaps between design, business, and technology
Sustainable Innovation — Creating solutions that deliver lasting value
Let's Connect
I'm always interested in connecting with forward-thinking individuals and organizations. Whether you're looking to collaborate, explore ideas, or simply have a conversation about the future of real estate and design, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
