Robert Bull

VP, DC & Atlanta Office Director at SmithGroup

Robert (Bob) Bull values a design approach that advocates for solutions breaking new ground, eliminating barriers, and revealing unforeseen opportunities. As director of the firm's Washington, DC office he seeks to inspire the same mindset in the office's diverse and deeply experienced workforce with a flexible, attentive, and nuanced approach to leadership. "A wide range of backgrounds, skills, and perspectives ensures their office culture is well-grounded while providing a diverse and supportive environment." Bob's own path into architecture benefitted from a similar culture of mentorship. After being encouraged to pursue his early interest in design, he found success and inspiration in extracurricular high school projects that broadened and deepened his perception of the built environment, leading to his decision to study architecture at the University of Cincinnati. Outside the office, Bob's time is spent on culturally-immersive and outdoor activities with his family.
