Samantha Darm recently joined the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as campus space analyst, where she will be developing complex data and strategic planning for the campus environment, according to Sarah Putman, health care specialist at CJ & Associates.
Previously, Darm worked as a facilities planner at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where she developed space-utilization strategies, managed design processes and spearheaded the operations of a space-management system, streamlining decision-making, according to Putman.
Beyond her professional role, Darm has served as vice president of membership for IIDA (International Interior Design Association) Wisconsin from 2021-23.
