Background
Over the course of the last decade, Barbara has gained broad experience in the world of theater, cruise ship, institutional and healthcare design. During her tenure here, she has been responsible for a large number of projects from the initial stages through completion including design concept development; research for historic restoration; interior color and materials selection; materials and furniture specifications; and project management. Barbara's projects have ranged from public and theater spaces on board cruise ships to restored and new land based theaters to institutional performing arts facilities. She has collaborated with consultants in developing art programs and custom theater curtains for cruise ship projects and custom carpets for all theaters. Barbara has presented a number of seminars at interior design and cruise ship industry trade conventions. Prior to joining the firm, she worked for four years at Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott.
