People

Rob O'Keefe
Principal
Since beginning his career with TVS in 2001, Rob has been exposed to a variety of design segments and grasped a familiarity with all phases of the design and construction process. Through his experiences on education, corporate office, convention and cultural facilities, he has developed a clear understanding of public environments and quality design applicable to every project. Additionally, Rob is equipped with a diverse graphic skill set and design talent, allowing him to conceive, communicate and fully evolve a functional design around a client’s needs and visions. This skill set and efficiency has allowed Rob to both manage projects while simultaneously staying involved in the production side of design documentation, giving clients the comfort that their daily interactions will be directly incorporated into projects. Working on the Georgia Aquarium exposed Rob to a new design segment for the firm, and he has used that experience to continuously help develop and expand the firm’s aquarium practice. This experience has given Rob an astute business view and provided him the vision to continually help expand the firm’s project diversity into new, evolving markets such as sports facilities. He is actively engaged in tracking and pursuing several aquariums and sports projects domestically and internationally, while also maintaining his passion for the quality design of projects.
