Experienced in large-scale project management and highly skilled in concept development, he enjoys collaborating across disciplines to ensure the client accomplishes their goals while creating a seamless user experience. With a background in industrial design, Paul’s education and experience combine traditional 2-dimensional graphic design with 3-dimensional products and environments.

After graduating from Leadership Buckhead, Paul founded Design Samaritan in 2012 to help others and prevent valuable resources from going to the landfill. This social enterprise finds and refurbishes furniture, transforming it into one-of-a-kind home furnishings. Proceeds from the sale of each piece enable furniture to be donated to families transitioning out of homelessness and into a home of their own.
