Adam sees himself as a design activist¡ªsomeone who motivates others to take control of the power inherent in design and transform the world. As part of a dynamic team of multidisciplinary professionals, Adam works to create a culture of community leadership and to advance the principles of urban design and community design.
Urban design focuses on people, casting the architect or designer as the translator of people¡¯s needs. Through professional and volunteer activities, Adam has been a passionate advocate for quality design in the built environment¡ªto be better at translating the needs of a community.
In addition to architectural projects across numerous commercial and residential types, Adam has worked in urban planning and design, community engagement, community development, affordable housing development, economic development, and process design.
