As Senior Partner, Guy leads our strategic direction and operations, fostering a continual dialogue between our team and the client, patron, and public. He also leads our Corporate and Interior Design practices, with a focus on developing environments that reflect a client's mission and current program, as well anticipated future needs.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Guy was exposed to design at an early age by his father who was in the residential furniture business, and an interior designer. Growing up as a teen during the Space Race, he initially dreamt of being an aeronautical engineer, a path that ultimately led to his discovery and passion for architecture as a mode of seeing, analyzing, and improving the world around us.
With more than three decades of experience in architecture and interior design, Guy is an active voice of the wider design community, and has received numerous honors and recognitions for his contributions to the profession.
