Elise Kunihiro Promoted to Associate

RDC is pleased to name Elise Kunihiro as an Associate of the firm. 🎉 As a Senior Job Captain, Elise has been a key player on the Retail Grocery & Market workgroup over the past eight years. She has been involved with the Kroger account and is currently a primary team member with the Erewhon and Bristol Farms accounts. Elise leads the way with dedication, a strong work ethic, and a drive to continuously improve workflow and efficiency, engages in unusually complex and technical projects, and has developed strong client relationships. 

Her work includes two award winning projects – ICSC Global Design and Development Silver Award for Erewhon Silver Lake and a Gold Nugget Merit award for 475 S. Lake Avenue. She also participates in marketing efforts including co-authoring a recently published article in the ULI Magazine about 475 S. Lake Avenue, the former I. Magnin building in Pasadena, where RDC served as architect for the historic renovation and adaptive reuse, transforming the long-vacated site into a mixed-use destination housing Erewhon, Tia and Brella.
