About 

My name is Kathy, and I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Architecture from Pratt Institute, as well as minors in Sustainability Studies and Social Justice. In my years of study, I have also fostered a love for the art of woodworking, and getting to be hands-on with my work has been some of the most fulfilling parts of the profession. Moving forward, I am eager to apply my skills and develop them as I work to make an earnest change in the world.

Outside of my architecture work, I also animate and draw as a form of self-expression. I am able to work solo, in a team, and as a leader, and I thrive being able to share my ideas with others.
