Casey Guest
Assistant to the Interior Design and PLAD Directors
Casey comes to us with 17 years of experience in Administration and Project Management. She has spent most of her career as a Project Manager in the Interior Design and Commercial Furniture Industry. She has also dabbled in the world of Interior Construction, centrally focused on demountable glazing systems.
She started her career in 2008 right here in Norman, OK, working for a local commercial furniture dealer, Copelin’s Contract. Working on projects for the University of Oklahoma, the Chickasaw Nation, and Oklahoma Electric Company allowed her to expand her knowledge of designing Commercial Office Spaces with sustainability and practicality in mind.
In 2013, she took a leap of faith, moving out to Los Angeles, CA to further her career. For 7 years she worked as a Senior Project Manager for the #1 Knoll dealership in the country, Systems Source, Inc. Her proudest moment was working on the 100,000 square foot NYX Cosmetics corporate office in El Segundo, CA where she led the project to a successful and on-time completion. After a couple years working with System Source’s brilliant furniture teams, she implemented another big shift in her career and became DIRTT Champion, joining the interior construction department. Her focus was helping large corporate companies implement sustainable working environments by using demountable glazing systems such as DIRTT And Murfalex. Her larges projects include Redbull, Skechers, Latham and Watkins, Toyota, DIRECTV, and AMGEM where she helped lead her team during a 6-floor glass wall installation.
Casey has now settled back in Norman and enjoys spending time with her grandkids who all live locally. In her spare time, she can be found doing any activities related to gardening, plants, live music and Texas Hold Em’ Poker. Her family has a long lineage of Sooners, and she truly feels as if she’s found her home working here at the University of Oklahoma, within the college that is most dear to her heart.
