About Michael Rucinski

I am currently a Project Director at Gensler, leading large-scale developments in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across the United States. This role has enabled me to cultivate an extensive network of industry professionals, resources, and expertise. Since joining Gensler in 2013, I began my tenure in the Los Angeles office before transferring to the San Diego office in 2017. During my time in Los Angeles, I contributed to several high-profile projects, including Lowe’s Hollywood, the interior design for a 318-key Marriott YYC in Calgary, a 170-key Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, and the iconic Century Plaza Hotel. In San Diego, my work has spanned multiple studios, encompassing corporate, hospitality, commercial, and life sciences sectors. Notable projects include San Diego International Airport’s Federal Inspection Services (FIS) facility, the New Terminal 1 and Parking Plaza, Manchester Pacific Gateway, Marisol, and the Town & Country Resort. I hold a Bachelor of Design from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities and a Master of Architecture from Woodbury University in Burbank, California. Prior to joining Gensler, I worked at a boutique architecture firm specializing in single-family residential projects, with a particular focus on the restoration and renovation of historic properties.
