Kristi Ploen
Chief Marketing Officer
We turn big ideas into beautiful, functional spaces, but our vision goes beyond architecture. Our true passion is improving the lives of the people around us. That’s what drives the next level of innovation and creativity for us and our clients.
Our staff is as unique as the buildings we design.
Our team of people brings a wide range of interests, skills and backgrounds to every project. That means more creativity, more forward-thinking ideas, and more concrete solutions. When our people put their minds together, amazing things happen!
It’s not what we do, it’s who we do it for.
Our expertise is in K12, Higher Ed, and Healthcare architecture and design. Every one of these projects starts with the end user in mind. This primary objective has us laser-focused on providing the best possible experience for everyone who interacts with, and makes use of, the spaces we design, whether that’s someone waiting in a lobby, working behind a desk, or teaching a class. We believe the spaces we design have a very real impact on people’s satisfaction and well-being.
Ready to see your project come to life? We’d love to hear about it!
Our focus on four key areas ensures we’re here for you—from the planning phase, to design & construction—all the way through to the critical finishing touches.
