With a particular interest in critical design, Kristen’s thorough approach comes from her years spent working at other local firms (Sturgess Architecture and Zeidler Partnership Architects), building both a professional and critical eye. With ten employees currently working on projects in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, they plan to expand across Canada. In 2016 she was included in Calgary's ‘Top 40 Under 40’ Class; an accolade that was received for her firm’s success to date and volunteer work with the Alex Community Food Centre. Kristen is a mentor for Intern Architects with the Alberta Association of Architects, an active lecturer for Junior Achievement of Southern Alberta, and a frequent volunteer in her children’s schools.
