Mary Ann has been an essential member of the ACS team since early 2013. Her integration of talents in bookkeeping and budgeting, background as a hobbyist/artist, and her avid DIY home improvement project skill set all feed into her art consulting projects and have made her a stand-out designer with regards to incorporating multiple artists, materials and interiors elements into her artwork designs. She has become the lead for ACS in managing suppliers with regards to quality, durability and pricing as new products come onto the market. Mary Ann has successfully managed and overseen 250 projects for ACS as the lead designer and/or design manager, and supported countless more, with an expertise in healthcare and OSHPD and a specialization in corporate, hospitality and artist recruiting. In 2016, Mary Ann managed all aspects of the installation of a 5-story hospital project, Adventist Health’s Rideout Regional Medical Center, that ACS had been engaged with for over three years. To successfully complete that project required Mary Ann to regularly collaborate and coordinate with hospital administration and foundation, architects, interior designers, artists and signage vendors in addition to interfacing with OSHPD, facilities, the construction superintendent and project architect regularly as the artwork was installed. This project involved more local artwork than any other project ACS has done to date, requiring Mary Ann to manage the acquisition and curating of 492 pieces of artwork from 53 artists as well as artwork from students at a local school. The artist pool consisted of local emerging artists as well as established regional and national artists.

In the years since, Mary Ann has had ample project experience and opportunity to learn and grow in the industry. From managing production and installation of a 33′ tall, 350lb sculpture suspended from a skylight, to 900lb backlit panels with a custom metal and glass sculpture floated over the front to custom exterior parking garage facades and everything in between. 

Mary Ann currently oversees the ACS design team and all details of design, fabrication and installation to ensure quality, budgets and timelines are met. Her vast knowledge in production, industry-calibrated design eye and attention to detail provides expert guidance to the team.
