The Team

With more than 20 years of experience, Komal has worked as a designer on project teams for many complex commercial and residential projects, including office interiors, hospitality and multifamily residential development, both locally and internationally. She is experienced in all phases of the design and execution process from schematic design phase through construction documents. Komal values and fosters a collaborative environment marked by open communication, trust, and a shared vision with her clients and team partners. This approach, bolstered by excellent communication and organizational skills, ensures design excellence as well as timely and efficient delivery for every project. Her other secret sauce to success? Humor!

Recent graduate with a B.S. in Architecture with a minor in sustainability, Krantz brings a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to the CPG team. His blend of creativity, artistic and computer skills, provides a valuable skillset to the design team, ranging from architectural computer programs, mastery in all Adobe design applications and hands-on experience in physical model building, hand drafting, freehand sketching and laser cutting. Impressively, Krantz played Lacrosse at Keene State during all 4 years, juggling this team sport with architecture school. His passion for design was deeply rooted throughout his life, in and outside of work and school. In fact, during his high school years, his artwork was selected in a regional competition by NASA from over 11,000 schools, colleges and research centers to be created as a uniform patch and sent into space on an atmospheric research mission.

As Project Director, Luis is a leader who strives to bring out the natural talent in his teams, especially junior associates whom he mentors. With over 12 years of industry experience that spans a wide range of practices, from complex commercial to custom residential design, he is thoroughly involved in all project phases and pushes for excellent design and execution with a keen eye toward achieving his client’s goals. His passion for architecture as a form of art fuels his belief in the importance of creating visually stunning and functional structures that engage the senses and inspire the imagination. It is this deep appreciation for the human experience that makes every moment memorable for Luis— whether it’s savoring a beautifully plated dish before it’s eaten at Le Train Bleu Restaurant in Paris or taking a pause to reflect within the cramped quarters of the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam.
