Gable Clarke, IIDA, NCIDQ, LEED AP, Certified Generations Trainer
Partner, Director of Interior Design
As the head of SGA’s interior design practice, Gable is responsible for project oversight, client relations, business development, mentoring, and firm leadership. She also spearheads HR initiatives that enhance the company culture and employee retention.
Gable enjoys establishing trust with clients, developing camaraderie with industry peers and co-workers, and transforming spaces into inspiring environments. Her favorite project phase is discovery – when the team members roll up their sleeves and immerse themselves in a client’s culture.
Michael Schroeder, CCM
Partner, Director of Virtual Design and Construction
When Fast Company selected SGA as one of the Most Innovative Companies in 2018, the publication identified the firm’s capabilities in Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) as a key differentiator in scheduling and cost certainty. Michael played an instrumental role in attaining this honor: He has led the growth and development of the practice since 2014.
VDC is an ideal fit for Michael, who loves to discover and invent new technologies that enhance project outcomes. BIM underpins the programs he oversees, but he supplements the virtual world with face-to-face interactions to promote collaboration. At the beginning of every commission, he onboards the project team and hosts an Execution Success Planning session, during which participants determine the most effective methods of delivery. Other pillars of his methodology include co-location of the development, design, and construction partners; bespoke project dashboards; and a variety of teambuilding initiatives.
Jen Gregoire, NCIDQ, IIDA
Senior Interior Designer, Associate
Jen joined SGA in 2015 because the firm’s work displayed variety and innovation – no two projects resembled one another. Today, Jen upholds the tradition of the individualized approach by delving into the culture and specific needs of each client. She likens this process to a quote by designer Andrew Alford: “We don’t start with pretty. We start with a story. Like an author writes a book, we always try to write the space first.” The results are influential, tailored designs with imaginative detailing that reflect successful problem-solving.
