Prior to joining Albanese & Lutzke, Allen worked for Michigan architects Jerry Matthews and Ray Hearn. While working in their offices, he played a key role in the design of many highly recognized projects, and developed a palette of unique and creative techniques by which to visualize the final product prior to it actually being constructed.
