BILL McCONLOGUE
Bill is the design coordinator for Topakustik USA. He logged five years of experience with Topakustik’s products before a two year hiatus designing rigging elements for touring productions in the live entertainment industry. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Maryland, which bolsters his ability to work with architects to achieve their visions. Bill believes that our sense of place is as much influenced by our ear as by our eye and that these two areas need equal weight in the design phase. Working closely with project managers, Bill helps clients achieve spaces that are both beautiful and comfortable.
