Mark Warner
Mark Warner is passionate about synthesizing the complex relationships between program needs and site considerations into building designs that help shape unique, positive experiences — all in support of successful user outcomes. Mark has been working with large constituent groups for more than 30 years, exploring design possibilities and sharing that vision through sketches, drawings, and — now more than ever — virtual tools. He has focused on the power of the virtual medium as an immersive experience, which has proven to be a game-changer. When skillfully employed, the medium provides opportunities for early and clear feedback, streamlining the design process and accelerating consensus building.
