Barry Jacob

My professional approach is founded on going beyond first impressions to achieve a genuine narrative. A process of learning through observation and research achieves an understanding of local culture, users, neighborhoods and demographics. My portfolio includes projects recognized for innovation in food retail, hospitality, residential design and retail planning, all focused on delivering a tailored guest experience. I currently lead and oversee the development of design projects of various size and budget.

My collaborations with local artists create an experience of place, adding depth to the character of each project through illuminating traditions or history. New and developing materials drive my passion to merge research, innovation and implementation. This level of comprehensive design and craft creates bespoke guest experiences.

I enjoy identifying and bringing together the individual talent and creative teams in order to bring consistent quality to each project. By carefully choreographing consultants I maintain the design integrity and ensure alignment with the projects financial goals. I have built and maintained relationships with senior leadership, proving to be a strong asset to clients and professional teams. I find this holistic approach positively contributes and enriches each community and environment.
