Liz Burow

Visual thinking is Liz’s superpower. Among colleagues and clients, she’s known for her ability to translate complex conversations into crisp drawings with clear outcomes.

Passionate about design and trained as an architect at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, Liz began her career in an unlikely spot: designing theme park rides for Busch Gardens in Florida. “While all my former classmates were working on kitchen renovations and tenant improvements, I was focused on mini rollercoasters and fake rock and fiberglass sea creatures like dolphins and the Kraken,” she recalls.

In the intervening decades, Liz’s professional path unfurled in a similarly unique but beneficial manner, providing her with deep expertise in workplace strategy and design. She has led transformative workplace initiatives at Google and WeWork and has served as a consultant to a wide range of corporate, nonprofit, and government clients, including Salesforce, Hines Development, the National Gallery of Art, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “My core mission is to facilitate the success of business teams,” she says. “Workplace design and strategy are key to that success.”
