Mike is a Senior Interior Designer in the HOK Chicago office, usually wearing many hats, including: up front space planning strategies, managing the technical design process as well as Construction Administration. Originally from Philadelphia, Mike attended Carnegie Mellon University where he studied Industrial Design (and is excited with what HOK has been doing with its Product Design efforts). He has lived in Chicago for ten years and enjoys searching for cool new restaurants, running, swimming, biking, working on his cooking skills, seeing comedy shows and live music.
