Kayla has 12 years of experience, working across a range of project types, including custom single-family homes, multifamily residences, award-winning restaurant interiors, and major light rail transit (LRT) infrastructure. Her approach to every project is rooted in passion and precision, recognizing and leveraging its distinct potential.

After developing her own single-family home and laneway in Calgary’s inner city, Kayla fully embraced the dual role of architect and self-developer. This unique position allows her to use personal projects as experimental spaces, testing innovative ideas, particularly within the realm of market-driven affordable housing. Her work is driven by a passion for creating authentic, inclusive environments that foster connection. As an advocate for equality in architecture, Kayla actively champions women and underrepresented groups in the city-building professions. She co-founded and serves as vice-chair of the Calgary chapter of Building Equality in Architecture (BEA Calgary) and is a sessional instructor at the University of Calgary’s School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape. She has been appointed to the City of Calgary’s 2025 Council Advisory Committee on Housing. Kayla is a volunteer and member of the Calgary Inner City Builders Association (CICBA) and housing advocate with More Neighbours Calgary. 

An experienced architect with expertise in commercial, residential, hospitality, and cultural projects, Kayla holds a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) Honours from the University of Sydney. Her practice thrives on collaboration, partnering with clients who share her vision of purpose-driven design.
