“A hallmark of Sasaki’s success over the years has been welcoming new voices to the firm’s leadership, especially those that offer fresh perspectives and lead us towards innovative opportunities,” said James Miner, CEO of Sasaki. “Bringing new voices to the table is what allows a legacy firm like ours to continue to evolve and take on the most pressing challenges of today. Individually, Josh, Anna, Andrew, and Tamar bring tremendous leadership and depth of experience to their clients and teams. And together, through their commitment to continuous learning and collaboration, they will advance Sasaki’s design culture, which is where the real magic happens.”
These promotions come as Sasaki continues to grow, having recently announced its partnership with DLANDstudio and the opening of the firm’s first New York office.
Brooks’ expertise includes district-scale master planning and design, urban development, infrastructural systems, and streets and public space.
With expertise that spans urban corridors and districts, public plazas, and parks and open space, Cawrse has been recognized for her ability to transition master planning of the public realm into realized space. Her work includes contributing to her team’s Climate.Park.Change. project, part of a climate change toolkit to be used by various parks departments across the country.
Gutterman’s background in ecology has helped foster a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world and a strong belief that these qualities can be brought to the built environment in meaningful ways, according to representatives of the firm.
Warburg directs Sasaki’s Sustainable Leaders, training the individuals embedded in each project team responsible for project sustainability metrics and goals.
