About Jamie Gamauf

I think about stuff, draw stuff, build stuff and fix stuff. I\'ve swung a hammer more than once, cooked on a line and created an online app. I\'ve built brands and bettered brands. I am also an architect with over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry providing design, construction and project management leadership. I blend creativity with practicality while providing innovative solutions. A true problem solver who goes beyond traditional architectural design and construction to provide real world results. For me, good enough is never enough. Let\'s see what we can build together.
