Heather Dunn | Principal | RSP
Her first client is still her client today. This twenty-year relationship – and the trust, dedication and respect that goes along with it – is the perfect metaphor for Heather’s work. As a managing principal at RSP, her curiosity and drive to continuously improve fuels her success on projects of varying scope and size. From tenant improvements to national real estate programs, Heather’s agility lies in celebrating the details and envisioning the bigger picture, connecting elements along the way.
For her, design is about embracing your inner entrepreneur. It’s about making life, work and play more productive and enjoyable for everyone, no matter who they are or what they do. She actively listens to her clients’ wants, needs and goals, adopting their mission as her own. She does the same for her team – driving individuals to learn, grow and innovate, both personally and professionally. Outside of work, Heather loves exploring nature and experimental gardening with her two daughters and making room in her house for her next furniture find.
