For clients such as GSK and W.L.Gore & Associates, he developed innovative workplace configurations that incorporate the technologies and spaces needed for contemporary business. The president of GSK US Pharma praised the design for their headquarters, saying: "My teammates and I are energized by this new environment where we can do our best work and collaborate without the constraints of offices walls."
