Please take this opportunity to meet our talented, creative, hard-working team, with specialties in architecture, interior design, industrial design, graphic design, illustration and project management.

Bruce Robinson, Principal
President

Bruce is our Big Kid and founder of the firm, presiding over his regiment of fantastical architecture and design with three plus decades of experience in the entertainment industry. A big picture kinda guy with a passion for detail, his expertise lies in programming, master-planning and ensuring that clients are kept in a spellbound state of ecstaticity. His uncanny ability to make the phone ring is surpassed only by his zeal for ensuring that all projects receive his Simply Amazing seal of approval.

Lara McKay, Principal
Project Manager

The conscience of BDR Design Group, Lara (pronounced “Your Highness”) is the operational and organizational whirlwind beneath the firm’s wings that keeps all projects running with timeliness and precision. She’s also an amazing ringmaster overseeing a circus of creative clowns and a juggling Russian bear named “Bruce.” All financial, marketing and operational duties require her divine signature, this being a tricky task since her other hand is under constant strain setting the bar extraordinarily high for all of our projects. Best to keep out of that hand’s way.

Andy Westfall, Principal
Project Designer

Andy deftly handles the dual roles of BDR Design Group Creative Genius and Evil Mastermind while overseeing the art direction and design intent of every project. Able to constantly adapt to the ever-changing physical realities inherent in turning concepts into real attractions, Andy’s architectural form-giving skills are a catalyst for the firm’s continued evolution. His amazing imagination, drawings, energy and frenetic style are an inspiration for us all. You will be drawn to him, and, if you’re lucky, you may be drawn on by him.

Laurie Becker Eichmann, Principal
Project Designer

Hailed throughout the office as the Multi-Multi-Talented, Pretty-Pretty Princess of BDR Design Group Interiors, Laurie is no shrinking violet—this is a revved up, dynamo of interior design and accessories. Mastering the transformation of concept to reality, Laurie’s design strength and ability to coordinate mass quantities of colors, patterns and textures into a spectacular, coherent experience brings life to our interiors. And no one wrecks a diet with such stampeding finesse.

Stefanie Hawk
Project Designer

Remember your playground bully? Meet our kinder, gentler version. Stefanie—an unstoppable force of talent and Queen of Organized Chaos—brings the best in terms of imagination, production coordination and CAD mastery. A compulsive taskmaster and stickler for details, Stefanie’s understanding of codes and regulations, her skills at refining concepts and ability to coordinate with our engineering partners keeps our projects moving smoothly. She endows BDR Design Group with a hyper-caffeinated, soul-crushing voice of reason that brings life to our concepts—one you just can’t help but like.

Stephen Corson
Designer

Stephen is the architectural equivalent of a stealth bomber, quietly refining conceptual designs into a form our clients and project partners can easily understand and execute. He applies his amazing CAD skills to what he enjoys most: turning imagination into reality to create new worlds and solve problems. Multiple recipient of the “No Whining Award,” he is responsible for the crucial final step in presenting clients with a vision of what the future holds for them.

Erica Rutledge
Designer

Every company should have an enthusiastic spirit like Erica, who brings a spark of magic to each and every project she touches. She also works within the realm of reality where her skills in research, ideation and organization make her a key ingredient in our design efforts. Her out-of-the-box thinking results in exciting illustrations that communicate BDR Design Group’s innovative solutions. But that doesn’t mean she won’t steal your leftover lunch crackers! She compensates for her peckish thievery as Head Distributor of Office Provisions for Malnourished Designers.

Bo Wachendorf
Designer

We don’t often need voice-overs in our line of work, but when we need a lift from Bo’s rousing renditions, he always comes through. And he’s a champion graphic and interior designer, to boot. From marketing materials to bringing brands to physical life, he adds a level of class, character, and contemporary relevance to all projects. Around BDR Design Group, “The Bo Show” is always on and always a big hit.

Amity Phillips
Designer

If we had to write this website by hand, Amity would be the unanimous choice for the job. Besides having the only legible handwriting, Amity is the heart of every design team. Her diverse design skills and organization make her the solid foundation upon which many of our projects are built—and no one surpasses her workspace organization. Our Final Graphics Guru has the longest commute of anyone yet somehow manages to arrive first each morning. And fresh, to boot.

Dave MacCoy
Illustrator

Typically, when we say draw, we usually refer to the digital method. Dave is one of the few brave artisans who actually draws by hand, not digital sleight of hand. The artist behind our ideas, Dave brings concepts to life to provide clients with a precise vision of what the finished design will look like when built. Perhaps his motivation is the amazed client satisfaction that results from his craft. Or it’s the marker fumes. Whichever, the fact that you can actually recognize people in his amazingly believable drawings is just one fraction of the invaluable whimsy he regularly whips up.

Lilly
Official Mascot and Door Greeter

When the day becomes a bit wearisome and too much to bear, Lilly eagerly provides much needed soft, furry therapy and helps make our office more of a home. More importantly, she is the chief agent for distributing bones and disfigured plush animals throughout BDR Design Group for us to trip over. Secondarily, she is our first line of defense against the Axis of Evil, otherwise known as The Postman and Water Bottle Guy. The new age of global terrorism faces an awesome threat, and its name is Lilly.
