PRINCIPAL
In addition to managing and leading the firm, Katherine (we all call her Kat) has deep expertise in design and project management of highly sustainable masterplans and mixed-use housing, hotels, corporate headquarters and institutional projects. Kat’s strong communication skills, aptitude for team-building, and positive attitude enable her to respond to and direct clients, consultants, city officials and contractors toward the successful completion of projects. She is passionate about uncovering the opportunities and challenges inherent in planning for smart growth and brings a broad perspective on the issues facing our community through her recent work on Portland’s Planning and Sustainability Commission. In 2017, Kat was honored as a Woman of Influence by the Portland Business Journal — an award reserved for those who have made a difference in their communities, blazed a trail for the rest of us, and are leaving a mark on the Pacific Northwest community.
