Who am I?

Hi! I’m Kalin, an emerging architectural designer with a passion for creating spaces that blur the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world. I graduated from Syracuse University with a bachelor of architecture. Originally from the East Coast, I now live out West, drawn there by my love of the outdoors.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me rock climbing, hiking, skiing, swimming, walking my dogs or just spending time in the great outdoors. Nature is not only where I recharge, it’s a constant source of inspiration. That connection to the outdoors deeply informs my architectural approach. I strive to design sustainable, energy-efficient spaces that honor the environment and enhance the human experience.

About Me

  • I believe in hard work, responsibility, and continual growth. Sustainability is central to my design philosophy. I'm passionate about reducing our environmental footprint and embracing energy-efficient solutions. I also value diverse perspectives and the joy that comes from both big achievements and simple everyday moments.

  • My dream is to one day start my own architectural firm where I can help bring others' visions to life. I’ve loved creative problem-solving since I was young, and building something of my own is a goal that drives me to keep learning, growing, and pushing boundaries!

  • I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy learning from others who share a passion for innovation and creativity. I believe that the best ideas come from inclusive teamwork, and I always aim to listen, contribute, and stay open to new approaches.

  • I’m ambitious, curious, and committed to continuous improvement. Whether tackling a complex design problem or learning a new software tool, I approach every challenge with enthusiasm and a desire to do my best. I love what I do and I bring that energy to every project!
