Bellweather Design-Build / Philadelphia

  Biggest contribution:   When I was hired, Bellweather had never had a true designer. So once I started, we worked to create standard operating procedures and checklists to ensure quality control and a written standard for the design process. Many of the checklists and spreadsheets I’ve created for the design department are based off my own ideas for how things should read and look for overall organization and a thoughtful approach to the process. I think to myself, “If I was filling this out, what would I write down first, or what would I need to check first in order to get through this meeting as efficiently and effectively as possible?”
