Adam’s focus on designing responsive and engaging environments began with his work at Gensler and BraytonHughes Design Studio. Adam has been partner at Arcsine since 2006 and has been lead architect on large hospitality projects such as the Palace Hotel as well as extensive work at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco.

Adam relies on his ability to coordinate large design, consultant and construction teams to realize his commitment to well-crafted architecture, design clarity and client satisfaction. Adam has had the luxury of working with some of the biggest hotel brands on the planet and has gained incredible experience by working with world renown designers and builders to complete many extremely complicated projects on time and on budget.

His vast experience working with ownership groups from around the world on luxury properties continues to grow. Adam, a licensed architect in multiple states, received his Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan and his BA in Studio Arts from Brandeis University.

Daniel founded Arcsine in 2003 with a vision to develop a studio environment based on collaborative design innovation. His early work at Gensler and Axis Architecture + Design gave him a breadth of experience working on large commercial projects in a multi-disciplinary team setting with strong emphasis in branding and hospitality. At Arcsine, he has pursued a hands-on approach to projects curating vibrant teams of creative professionals to deliver unique restaurant, hospitality and retail projects.

Daniel approaches each design with fervor and unique passion. He coined the phrase method architect to capture his design process that is based on the premise of full emersion within a design concept. These experience based responses evident in his work highlight his deep love of design. Daniel is often found with a sketch book in hand and espresso nearby.

He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. Daniel is a licensed architect in the states of California, Nevada and Washington D.C.

Jason looks to the hidden stories and background information of  project’s narrative to inform its core design narrative. His simple, elegant design expertly integrates purpose and value while considering both aesthetics and necessary technical and structural components. His careful research and conceptualization culminates in design with rich architectural backstory. Jones’s career stretches back to the early ‘90s; he graduated with his B.Arch from the University of Arkansas in 1994.

Elizabeth joined Arcsine following a 20-year tenure with ForrestPerkins working her way through banner hospitality projects—among them JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa and Palmer House Hilton in Chicago, in addition to multiple properties from iconic brands such as Ritz-Carlton, Hilton, and more. Immersing herself in the discovery process, she explores a brand in order to tell its story. Her drive and talent evident, Dillion was pivotal in launching the West Coast presence, opening a San Francisco office in 20018. It was in San Francisco’s Bay Area that she worked with iconic properties including Hilton Union Square, Carmel Valley Ranch, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Marquis, and other projects across the country. Dillon’s early appreciation for design propelled her to study interior design, with an emphasis on hospitality, at Virginia Tech where she graduated cum laude in 2000.

Born in South Korea, Angela spent her formative years in both Seoul and the San Francisco Bay Area. She appreciates not only the evocative nature of architecture but also the execution of an idea. A firm believer of ‘design synergy,’ Angela approaches each project with an intent to understand, and enjoys working with a multidisciplinary team to solve complex design challenges. This fluidity between conceptual ideas, technical details and big-picture processes has been a key instrument throughout her career, as she brings retail, commercial interiors, and custom single-family residential experiences to life.

Since I’m working for an Oakland-based business, I think it’s fair to mention that I’m third generation Oakland. My roots here are strong. I’ve had the pleasure of working a multi-faceted position here managing finances, HR and general office needs, watching our numbers double since I joined in 2012. With a creative background, blended with psychology and an MBA, I feel in concert with our principals, architects and designers, sharing in the community we’ve built over the last few years. But that’s what’s great about working here – the hierarchy is understated and a general sense of respect is shared broadly. Outside of work, I’m busy raising two boys – fast times in Alli-land (not to be confused with Disneyland, one of my favorite places – with or without my kiddos).
