Background

About David N Johnson

I have over 30 years of experience in the planning and design of academic, research, clinical and civic facilities. My creative process is both intuitive and analytical, comprised of a holistic and collaborative approach to design. I believe in the integrative nature of the design process, recognizing that building trust with partners is essential towards achieving results. My specific focus at Gensler is to provide project design leadership, working directly with the client and the design team to drive innovative design solutions for environments in which we discover, learn and heal. I am an effective communicator, actively engaged in business development as well as contributing to the collective design intelligence of the firm. My design process is centered around the belief that active client engagement includes listening, inquiry and interpretation in order to provide effective guidance and to build consensus towards solutions that support the broader mission of the institutions that I serve.
