“My experiences shape my approach – one that merges artistic intuition with architectural strategy to create compelling and functional spaces. I aim to bridge creative exploration with practical execution, ensuring that hospitality environments are not only operationally sound but also visually and experientially rich.”

Ashton Bird

Design Specialist, Foodservice

With Ashton on a project, form and function find perfect harmony. A deep background in the fine arts and creative lighting design has honed Ashton’s ability to find beauty in even the most utilitarian of spaces. He is brilliant at producing meticulous technical drawings while still maintaining a holistic understanding of an entire project. With numerous awards, grants and residencies (from Atlanta to Budapest!) already under his belt, Ashton stays ever passionate and driven by curiosity, adaptability and a commitment to thoughtful, innovative design solutions.

After completing his undergraduate studies in art at Minnesota State University-Mankato, Ashton pursued and completed a Master of Fine Art at Florida State University. He is now a candidate for his Master of Architecture, which will allow him to add even more architectural expertise (plus his artist’s sensibility) to the creation of foodservice and hospitality spaces.
