Abby is an architectural designer supporting our Justice studio in Kansas City. Originally from St. Louis, Abby’s journey in architecture has been both global and inspiring. She recently earned her Master of Architecture from the University of Kansas, during which she received a Portfolio Recognition Award for her student work. Abby completed her final year of studies at the prestigious Ecole Nationale d’Architecture Paris Val de Seine. Her time in Paris not only sharpened her design skills but also deepened her appreciation for diverse architectural styles, which continue to influence her work.

Abby is passionate about creating spaces that truly reflect the needs of the community, a principle that aligns perfectly with our mission of designing spaces that heal society. With a keen understanding of how architecture can foster positive change, Abby believes that every project must start with a deep awareness of its social context. Her approach to justice architecture emphasizes resiliency and behavioral change, ensuring that the spaces she helps create are not just functional, but also transformative.

What is on your bucket list?

My primary goal at the moment is to work toward getting my architecture license. As a long-term goal, I would love to travel to Singapore to study the architecture there and work on a project abroad one day.

What is the best part of your job?

The best part of my job is being a part of such a creative, inspiring, and kind team of architects!

What do you like to do outside of work?

A few of my hobbies outside of work include drawing, cooking, crocheting, yoga, and spending time with my friends and family. I also love cats, especially my orange cat back in St. Louis, Jellybean.
