Sometimes a good idea strikes and sometimes it feels like you have to climb over a wall to get to the idea. Here in the KCAD studio we have the inspiration brick to add a bit of humor to the idea of ‘needing to be hit with inspiration’ as we round up on 1/2 semester reviews.

The KCAD AIAS team participated in some boots on the ground learning today- nothing quite like stepping away from the screens and getting some sunshine!

Meet our team: NCARB Licensing Advisor!

“Hi, I’m Britt! I came to study architecture out of a love for how spaces can both ground us in our surroundings and offer moments of escape. After graduation, I hope to keep designing with that spirit — creating homes and community spaces that feel like both refuge and adventure. As the NCARB Licensing Advisor, I support students on their path to licensure, aiming to spark more dialogue about practice while in school and help everyone get a strong start in the profession!”
