Our Consulting Team

DHAD’s team approach allows us to be the most responsive to our client’s individual needs. Every project has a designated leader – a point person who assures continuity and clear communication. Other DHAD consultants are available if special expertise is needed for a particular project.


The managing project consultant works closely with the end user, along with the design planners, to fully understand the project goals and design intent of the spaces.

Once an art needs assessment and budget are developed, the consultant leads the educational and enjoyable process of art selection. The client can choose to be as involved as they wish throughout the process.
