Chicago-based design services provider SONNY+ASH has revealed two new appointments: Former art director Angelica B. Schultz has been named the new director of business development while Mike Gajdorus has been elevated to the role of vice president of production. A Milwaukee native and graduate of the Art Institute of Schaumburg, Schultz has been a part of the company’s team for seven years. Gajdorus, who previously served as the director of the client experience for the studio, first joined SONNY+ASH in 2012. He obtained a bachelor of architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
“Angelica has been a valued member of our brand for the past seven years. Most recently, she served as our art director. She is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the job and will be able to speak to those technicalities in her new position,” says CEO Joe Soelberg. “Mike is the longest-tenured member of the SONNY + ASH team and is highly skilled and respected in both the visualization and the hospitality industries, leaving no doubt that he is the right person for this position,” he adds.
“As the need for visualization assistance in telling stories and design intentions for clients of all backgrounds, we have dived into utilizing a more game-like experience allowing people to immerse themselves in those worlds,” said Angelica Schultz, and added: “The ability to fully visualize and experience a project is invaluable to architects, designers, and their marketing teams.”
