Carrie leverages her expertise in design, management and technology to deliver sustainable and impactful architecture. With more than three decades of experience, Carrie applies SOM’s interdisciplinary and research-based approach to bring groundbreaking designs to life through a variety of delivery methods and across typologies.
Her impact can be felt across several markets, with a particular emphasis on science and academic work led out of the West Coast studios. She navigates complex delivery methods including CMAR, design-build, progressive design build, and public-private partnerships–to create buildings that enable institutions to grow and adapt over time. Most recently, she completed the largest new building on the Rice University historic campus, a research and education building dedicated to public health for the City and County of San Francisco, and the new Grimes Engineering Center at UC Berkeley that will act as a learning tool itself. She partnered with the University of California, Merced for nearly two decades, enabling the newest campus in the UC system to become the first carbon-neutral public university in the country.
When diverse perspectives come together, great ideas emerge. That’s one of the reasons why we work hard to build teams that represent a broad range of backgrounds.
Previously, she managed the expansion of Moscone into the lowest carbon-emissions-per-visitor convention center in North America, the mixed-use development that houses the city of San Francisco’s municipal offices, and the transformation of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s International Arrivals Facility into a welcoming, soaring space for new arrivals to the region.
Carrie serves as one third of the firm’s first all-female Executive Committee and was named an AIA Fellow in 2013. An advocate for building partnerships and long term relationships with W/MBEs and small businesses, Carrie is committed to mentorship and increasing diversity and opportunity across the professions.
