Katie received her Bachelor of Architecture from Auburn University in 2017 after spending her third year at Rural Studio and fifth year at Urban Studio. One of her favorite parts of working in the field of architecture is developing empathetic and inclusive design solutions to serve everyone equally, and she loves working for a firm that shares her values and her love of Birmingham.
Katie also plays an active role in supporting emerging professionals in architecture. She founded the AIA Alabama Mentorship Committee in 2020 and served as its Director for four years. Her leadership extends to being the 2024 AIA Birmingham Design Awards Chair, and she has also been a member of the AIA Birmingham Emerging Professionals Committee. She previously served as Associate Director of AIA Alabama from 2019–2021 and will return to the role for the 2026–2027 term. Katie’s hard work earned her the AIA Alabama Emerging Professional Award and the President’s Award in 2021.
Outside of work, Katie enjoys concerts, gardening, and spending time with her cat, Florence.
