senior associate + higher education sector leader
Kristin is a Senior Associate at Saam Architecture, leading many of Saam’s higher-ed projects. As a licensed architect and NCIDQ certificate holder, Kristin values the combination of functional and aesthetic design in her projects. She has a background in a variety of project types, including higher-ed, workplace, sports and recreation, healthcare, and hospitality. She leads her projects by working closely with clients to understand their technical and functional needs, while paying close attention to their budget. She follows through with these goals, emphasizing their importance throughout the construction process.
As an advocate for sustainability and wellness (LEED GA and WELL AP-certified), Kristin focuses her time and research on learning about innovative solutions that positively impact both the people who occupy the environments she designs, as well as the environment we live in.
Outside of work, Kristin is an avid traveler, loves the outdoors, and enjoys anything sports and recreation related. She loves to ski, hike, bike, camp, and especially loves spending time in Maine, her home state.
