Katia is an architect with over 25 years of experience in architecture, interior design, urban design and planning. Katia collaborates with wide range of interdisciplinary professionals to create inspirational spaces. She loves solving complex architectural problems and is adept at building lasting client relationships, assembling collaborative partners and managing internal teams. She combines her strong commitment to sustainability, design innovation, authenticity and craft with careful attention to the needs of her clients.
Her design thinking spans from creating intimate spaces to large, complex buildings including learning environments, sports venues, performance arts venues, religious spaces, housing, and student life buildings. Her buildings are characterized by strong integration with their surroundings. She consistently searches for opportunities to connect the transition zones between buildings and open spaces and capitalize on new infrastructure as a way to extend nature and unite architecture, landscape, and ecology.
Her recent work reimagines existing structures and demonstrates how changing building envelopes can improve the quality and experience of the public realm as well as positively impact the environment through state-of-the-art building materials.
Katia is passionate about bringing diversity and inclusion to the design industry. She is serving as a trustee of the Boston Architectural College, an institution that brings opportunities for students who might otherwise not be able to enter the field of architecture and design.
