Rae is a principal and senior urban designer for HOK in San Francisco. She also is a member of the firm’s global design board.

As both a certified planner and a registered architect, Rae is a skilled integrator of multiple scales of design: from individual urban developments to district-wide master plans and regional sustainability policies.

Rae develops physical, political and implementation strategies for efforts ranging from smaller-scale projects to multimillion dollar, transformative urbanization initiatives. Her experience spans corporate office parks, university campuses, mixed-use, multifamily, waterfront and transit-oriented developments. This has included physical site planning; conducting detailed analyses of federal, state and local planning regulations; leading participatory public engagement sessions; and managing internal project processes and consultant teams.
