Chad is a Design Principal and Gensler’s Global Health Sector Leader. He is one of a handful of design directors responsible for setting the standard of design excellence across the firm’s global organization. He believes that design is rooted in three simple ideas. First, design must be purposeful — it needs to work and work well. Second, places should be irresistible — drawing people in, making them smile, encouraging them to linger, and keeping them coming back. And third, design should tell a story — one that reflects the ambitions, values, and identity of the people for which it’s built. From future forward science buildings on fully amenitized mixed-use campuses to boutique hotels, wellness retreats, and creative offices, Chad’s work spans industries, scales, and continents. His portfolio ranges from 500-square-foot interventions to synergistic, multi-million-square-foot environments — all united by a belief that design isn’t just about form or function. It’s about impact.
