Biography
Todd is the Co-Regional Managing Principal for Gensler’s South Central region and Co-Managing Director for Gensler Austin.
Under Todd’s leadership, the Austin office has grown from five professionals to nearly 100 in just ten years. The mix of project types and sizes in the office portfolio reflects the diversity of Todd’s experience with commercial office buildings, hotels, mixed-use developments, master planning, and workplace interiors. Todd earned a reputation in the local market for his keen ability to understand the business of design and the economics of meeting his clients’ needs by engaging in strategic analysis of real estate options and finding creative design solutions. In 2016, Todd played an instrumental role in expanding Gensler’s presence into the San Antonio market with the opening of the San Antonio studio.
I've been fortunate to work on projects that have changed skylines, transformed campuses, and redefined communities. But what stays with me most are not the buildings themselves; It's the people whose lives were changed because of them. That's the true measure of great design.
