Paul Dahlke

Design Lead + Senior Project Manager

As Design Lead and Senior Project Manager at Studio Luz, Paul strives for aesthetic and conceptual clarity in the design process and works to implement those values as a project becomes a reality. As a leader with more than 14 years of experience in higher education, institutional, and public projects, Paul has been involved with a number of different project types, including furniture design, retail spaces, custom single-family homes, multi-unit apartment buildings, office fit-outs, mid-rise and high-rise commercial office buildings, hospitality projects, academic facilities, and master planning. His previous experience includes tenures with Preston Scott Cohen, Inc, Charles Rose Architects, Roger Ferris + Partners, and Turkel Design.

At Studio Luz, he has been involved in developing space branding concepts for commercial clients, including retail space prototypes planned to be implemented globally. Paul is a graduate of the University of Maryland and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. In his spare time, ever the generalist, he enjoys hiking, studying music, and designing imaginary chairs.
