Duane Trammell

Founding Partner

Hello!
Duane Trammell is President and Founding Partner of Trammell McGee-Cooper and Associates, Inc.  He enjoyed a 35-year partnership with Dr. Ann McGee-Cooper until her passing in August 2016.

“The principles of great design are present in memorable learning experiences… balance, emphasis, movement, rhythm, variety, and unity. I want people to leave a seminar with the same feeling as I do when I leave an outstanding exhibition—inspired, changed, and wanting to come back   for more.”
