A network from AVIXA
The convergence of AI and audiovisual design is redefining how we create connected, intelligent spaces.
That’s why I’m part of the NEXXT NOW | AI for AV community—a space where integrators, consultants, manufacturers, and educators collaborate to explore how AI is transforming design, deployment, and experience delivery.
If you’re interested in learning more about how agentic AI, predictive analytics, and design automation are changing our industry, this is where those conversations happen first.
If you want to share what you've learned by doing, this is your place too. If you want to help lead the adoption of AI-enabled AV spaces and systems, we welcome you!

As an architect by training (BS Architecture, Cal Poly SLO) and a collaborative technologist with four decades of practice, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of AV professionals at the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership. I have been active in AVIXA since 1986 and served on the national board from 1993–2000. I am a Fellow of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) and an Associate member of the American Institute of Architects.
I serve as Director of Digital Experience Design at Clark & Enersen, a 200-person interdisciplinary architecture and engineering firm, where I lead the planning and design of integrated audiovisual and digital experience environments for higher education, healthcare, and research clients.
In parallel, through my personal advisory practice at CraigPark.Company, I counsel AEC and technology organizations on business strategy, collaborative design and delivery, and growth leadership.
My expertise spans systems design, integrated building technology planning, and strategic business development. I bring an award-winning, B2B design-thinking approach developed through leadership roles with national AEC and technology firms.
Across both institutional and consulting roles, I have led marketing and growth strategy, designed future-ready learning and simulation environments, and helped organizations implement AI-powered tools that scale expertise and performance.
