Tina Frank is the Chief Marketing Officer at NAC. After a fellowship for an architecture firm in St. Etienne, France, about 25 years ago, she expanded her academic focus in writing. For the last 17 years, she has relied on both areas of study working in Southern California AEC marketing. At NAC, she focuses on managing marketing operations, strengthening new relationships, and leading the corporate communications group. She is dedicated to NAC's mission-driven focus and sets marketing to support the pursuit of projects aligned with that vision. “I feel lucky to work with the best people: a group dedicated to transforming communities through design. Architecture is best when it's beautiful as well as transformative. It’s for that reason that I always wanted to work with a mission-driven architecture firm making real changes in communities by using design as a catalyst for social change, and now I do.”
