He began his career in the themed entertainment industry, designing attractions for theme parks internationally. Over the last 20 years, he has worked in the field of experiential graphics and experience design, focused on communicating identity, wayfinding, and shaping the idea of place. 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 experience for the user. With a background in industrial design, Paul’s education and experience combine traditional 2-dimensional graphic design with 3-dimensional products and environments. With a passion for people and guest experiences, it’s no surprise he loves to travel. His broad portfolio includes projects from almost every sector including themed entertainment, hospitality, higher education, children’s healthcare, retail, office, and mixed-use.

Paul received his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design from Georgia Tech and he is a member of the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD). After graduating from Leadership Buckhead, Paul founded Design Samaritan in 2012 to help others and save valuable resources from 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.
