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 will be returning to the role of Associate Director of AIA Alabama for the 2026-2027 term, and she previously founded and led the AIA AL Mentorship Committee. She has also served on the AIA Birmingham Emerging Professionals and Design Awards Committees. Her efforts 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.
