You  will prepare presentation materials and construction documents for a  wide range of commercial spaces including performance venues, museums, offices, landscapes, sports centers, and hospitality. Your audio video design, live performance, and/or installation background will inform your work and allow you to participate more completely in our design studios and discussions.
