LEED AP
Associate Principal, Design Principal, Seattle

Clark leads interior design and strategy for our Seattle studio. He has spent more than thirty years shaping innovative, human-centered environments across healthcare, corporate, science, and education sectors, from Seattle to Shanghai, New York, London, and beyond. His practice is grounded in research, examining how environments affect the people within them. These insights inform decisions about light, materials, and movement, resulting in evidence-based design that feels intuitive.

Say hello to Clark
I strive to approach each new project with fresh eyes, taking the client’s unique vision and employing a full range of design tools to create functional, imaginative, and meaningful places where people can thrive.

When he is not traveling or organizing, he hikes, climbs, or sails, pursuing the same sense of discovery that appears in his work.
