Meet the Team

PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT | AIA | LEED AP BD+C

Principal, founder, and project architect, Mark has over thirty years of experience providing design excellence in beautiful, client-driven, sustainable places and spaces. Growing up in Wisconsin, surrounded by Frank Lloyd Wright ‘nature inspired’ buildings, it was a natural progression for Mark to earn one of the first dual degrees offered in Architecture and Environmental Design.

Mark enjoys taking advantage of Colorado’s amazing views, abundant sunlight and fresh, mountain air, and strives to save energy on every project he acquires with the hope to keep us all happier and healthier. In the future, Mark believes that as a society, we will better attune our environment to accommodate for day-to-night temperature swings and take advantage of clean power while happily re-connecting to the great outdoors.

ARCHITECT | AIA

Elizabeth was drawn to architecture in large part due to her talent and adoration for drawing. She earned a Bachelor of Architecture with Honors from the University of Notre Dame, where she received a classical architecture education that included sketching, drawing, and Beaux Arts watercolor presentation. Elizabeth began her career working on multi-family projects at a mid-size firm in Raleigh, NC and later in San Antonio, TX specializing in luxury custom residences and ranches.

In 2010, she completed the ARE and became a Registered Architect in Texas. Before joining us at TDG, she ran her own architectural illustration business, providing freelance watercolor renderings for various architecture firms, marketing firms, and publications.

ASSOCIATE ARCHITECT

Rick has been working with hospitality, custom single-family homes, multi-family residences, and commercial projects through all phases of project development for over ten years. He has instructed BIM courses at the graduate level and finds inter-discipline coordination more effective through the use of this state-of-the-art technology.

His drive to find solutions to challenges that arise during the design, approval, and construction processes makes Rick indispensable to our team. He recently moved back to his home of Colorado Springs, and is looking forward to rediscovering the area while working with us at TDG Architecture.
