PEOPLE
OUR TEAM
1924 - 2024
CELEBRATING OVER 100 YEARS OF [RE]THINKING ARCHITECTURE
At MKC Architects, we’re all about building more than just spaces — we’re building people, ideas, and futures. We believe the best design happens when fresh perspectives, curiosity, and collaboration come together. That’s why we actively look for emerging talent and voices that haven’t always had a seat at the table.
We’re not here to just hand out projects — we’re here to mentor, learn alongside each other, and help every team member grow into the architect or designer they want to be. Whether it’s through creative freedom, hands-on experience, or the chance to lead, we’re committed to making sure everyone at MKC feels seen, heard, and supported. This is a place where big ideas, diverse backgrounds, and bold thinking shape not just what we design — but who we become.
Creativity is desired. Passion is a must.
