Senior Project Architect
AIA, LEED AP

Inspired by local culture and climate, Kenny strives to craft architecture with a strong sense of place. He focuses on synthesizing complex criteria into holistic, context responsive design solutions.

Originally from the East Coast, Kenny drove cross country to experience California after earning his Master of Architecture at Columbia University in New York and hasn’t looked back. Throughout his career, Kenny has developed a rigorous and thoughtful approach to architecture, instrumental in the design of site specific, government, institutional and commercial buildings domestically and abroad. He brings to WDA extensive experience, versatile skills and a desire to collaborate with communities to build high quality design.

Outside of work, Kenny can be found exploring the Bay Area’s beautiful hiking trails, trying out new cuisine, and spending time with his wife and two daughters. Together, they enjoy traveling to fun, unique destinations.

Why did you go into architecture?
Initially I wanted to design a better house for myself, and ultimately, I wanted to design better spaces for communities.
What is your favorite design-focused spot?
William Stout Bookstore. Architectural bookstores are like a candy store filled with architectural treats and hidden design gems.
