WORK HISTORY
Design Manager @Build Group, Inc
San Francisco, CA, US
As Design Manager at Build Group, I lead the design process and schedule to ensure timely, well-coordinated project starts across a range of construction projects. I partner closely with architects, engineers, trade partners, and internal teams so design solutions align with client goals, regulatory requirements, budgets, and overall project timelines.I coordinate design development from early concept through construction documents and permitting, managing schedules, deliverables, and resources to keep the design phase on track. By proactively identifying scope gaps, feasibility issues, and budget risks, I help teams resolve challenges before they impact cost or schedule.A key part of my role is integrating design with Build Group’s self-perform and trade partners through focused workshops and ongoing collaboration. I support value engineering, phased permitting, and constructability reviews that enable fast-track delivery while maintaining design intent and quality.
