Vince Tafolla

Ph.D.

Marketing

Fascinated by language’s ability to seduce, transport, and clarify, Vince is skilled in the art of persuasive speaking and writing (more than skilled, he holds a Ph.D is Rhetoric from the University of California, Berkeley). Vince helps our project teams narrate their work and articulate their approach to difficult design problems. Outside the office, you might find him lazing about with one of his family’s foster greyhounds, reading Plato, or exploring Red River Gorge.
