and professional honors. In addition she was a flight service operational supervisor at Chicago’s O’Hare airfield. She

She loves to travel, entertain, and spend time with her husband, two cats, dog Spot, granddaughter and friends. Her
friends affectionately call her the “nice” Martha Stewart. She has been beside her husband David after he suffered
serious mobility problems after an accident. As a result his progress has been impressive.

Lauren A. Miller, NCIDQ
Senior Associate
Lauren Miller has an eye for detail, born of 25 years of commercial interior design practice, along with an affinity for
finding ways to improve the lives of others. Her aesthetic sense has sharpened some of the Tampa Bay area's most ambitious
construction projects, including the Tampa Convention Center. Yet she also has found herself at the humble foot of grandeur,
serving meals to the homeless on the streets of downtown Tampa.
A Michigan native, she graduated from the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, after studies in architecture at the University
of London and Michigan State University. In Tampa, she worked for Stewart Corp. Architects, Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum Inc.,
and Alfonso Architects Interiors, often managing commercial, medical and hospital projects that entailed space planning,
preparation of construction documents, and selection of finish materials and furniture. The experiences gave her the confidence
to tackle any size job, one step at a time.
She delights in putting people at ease, equally adept at finding common ground with elderly retirees as with professional
athletes. She plunges into any topic with the hunger of a lifelong learner, never afraid to ask questions. Wherever she goes,
she makes new friends.
