About

For 20 years, Noah has dedicated himself to the healthcare industry where his passion for exploring the convergence of efficiency and inspiration in the built environment perfectly resides. Noah has been instrumental in re-imagining Array’s design approach, which seeks to provide greater clarity and collaboration to defining spaces for healing. Noah’s varied experiences in developing products and bringing them to market, launching a company and working as a strategic consultant all led to the strong importance he places on a sound plan that is informed by “round thinking” and supported by hard data. Noah offers a broad skill set to facilitate project delivery with an enthusiastic leadership style and a comprehensive understanding of various project types.

While Noah’s projects take him across the country, so have his legs; Noah once biked from Oregon to New Jersey.
