Throughout his 20-year career, Francisco has led the design and development of highly complex real estate projects¡ªcommercial, retail, residential, mixed-use, institutional, and higher education¡ªfrom early planning to construction phases. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, technology, and sustainability practices, all aimed at creating vibrant and functional spaces that put people first.
As principal and design lead for the US West region, Francisco values team dynamics that bring multiple perspectives together and foster coordinated solutions to design problems. An advocate of iterative design approaches, he believes these varied viewpoints craft design narratives that bring client and team together towards a common goal as the project evolves from early design stages to construction¡ªnothing is set in stone until the final keys are handed over to the client.
When he isn¡¯t encouraging design thinking across disciplines, Francisco enjoys spending time with his family at the beach, trekking, or going on road trips.
