Architect

Shane works closely with the entire project team to provide the day-to-day management essential for project development and delivery. In addition to communication, design, and documentation skills, Shane brings robust analytical skills and technical expertise to every project. His background includes architectural research, with an emphasis on sustainability, building performance, daylighting, and user response. He has worked on a range of mixed-use facilities—including medical, office, retail, industrial, recreational, and educational spaces—from new construction and full remodels to adaptive reuse and targeted tenant improvements.

After many years working for his family-run construction company outside of Chicago, Shane left the Midwest and turned to architecture. Upon receiving his BArch, he joined the High Performance Environments Lab at the University of Oregon and then attained an MS in Architecture. His research involved lighting, thermal, and visual assessments of various spaces, including a large commercial office, LEED-rated higher-education laboratories, and LEED-rated elementary schools. His research culminated in the thesis "Quantifying Adaptive Behavioral Responses to Discomfort Glare – A Comparative Analysis of Daylit Offices.” Shane worked for TBG Architects + Planners in Eugene before joining Rowell Brokaw. Shane is an active board member of his neighborhood association, where he engages with neighbors and city staff to advocate for community needs, improved urban spaces, and increased housing options.
