The 412 Project Team

Teri works with community developers and entrepreneurs to tap into deep customer insights and create places and brands that connect with people through experiences that matter. Over nearly three decades, she has brought to life some of the most valued and recognized brands in resort and community development.  As chief marketing officer at Newland for more than a decade, she was the architect of the largest U.S. community developer’s brand, elevating its application in more than 40 communities in 14 states, where she also led new community startups, opening 11 new communities in four years.

Nancy is passionate about finding thoughtful, creative ways to infuse the soul of design and livability into residential projects while also addressing the realities of elusive housing attainability and a challenging entitlement environment. With an empathetic and collaborative leadership style, Nancy steers the growth strategy — including design adaptation and innovation, technology, and sustainability — of the 150+ person professional global architecture, planning, and interiors firm. She also oversees operations, finance, production, marketing, and business development. 

An innovator in design thinking, Ryan challenges teams across the firm to think differently. Harnessing the potential of a given project’s vision, he is known for seeding brainstorming sessions with fresh perspective and thought-provoking questions that inspire DAHLIN’s teams to push the envelope of design and solve problems for its clients. He has led the innovative architectural design of many building types that have moved design forward while passing the test of market demands.

Raised in homebuilding with prior experience at her father’s construction company, Darian’s personal passion is working with clients toward creative, executable designs. Specializing in residential communities and low density attached projects, she pushes teams to imagine who will live in the communities being built and how they will experience the home and the community itself. She’s always exploring fresh constructable ideas to inspire teams to create design solutions that better serve how people live, enhancing livability for the homeowners and creating value for homebuilders.

Dennis has extensive innovation experience and a broad network of innovation leaders in the housing industry from the U.S. and around the world. He’s a boundary spanner, a connector, and an investor in all things related to the built environment.  Navigating complex networks of transactional relationships and promoting broader investment in research and development, Dennis seeks out opportunities to connect the dots on transformational initiatives to achieve objectives together that we shouldn’t, and likely couldn’t, tackle alone.
