About

Paul has over three decades of experience in the world of planning, landscape architecture and urban design. He led a team of professionals and has completed over 100 projects across the globe in hospitality, entertainment and attractions, urban design and redevelopment planning, community planning, public realm, and environmental projects. Many of which have been recognized by domestic and international organizations as award-winning, including an Urban Land Institute’s Global Design Award. As a result of this success, he became a senior member of the leadership team at a major long-standing international planning, landscape architecture and urban design firm.

Core to his practice is the creation of environments that exude energy, offer economic viability, and respect the context and environment in which they exist while always enhancing the overall aesthetics of the place. Positively impacting the environment by influencing the process, he has developed an innate talent to design organic, impactful spaces that offer visual appeal and social justice for users across the globe. At the foundation of Paul’s altruistic approach lies a focus on innovation as a way of life – placing technology, non-complacency, and sustainability at the forefront of every project. He derives great satisfaction in knowing that, what he advocates for, supports, and produces will ultimately change lives for the better.

He has led complex projects with a large team of consultants and has provided consensus-building at a variety of scales including international and domestic government leaders, to business and community leaders. Paul has been a vital strategic advisor to a number of cities and developers across the world which has resulted in a large portfolio of built work. Due to this portfolio of award-winning work, Paul was inducted into the American Society of Landscape Architects Council of Fellows.
