Kathy Wheadon, NCARB, LEED AP
Principal
Kathy has dedicated her career to creating innovative environments for education, government, and civic clients. Her passion for design spans the full project arc—from early concept development through construction—resulting in work that is both thoughtfully envisioned and technically rigorous.
Known for her ability to listen deeply and lead with clarity, Kathy brings expertise in sustainable strategies, cost-effective solutions, and strong visual and verbal communication. She leads projects with a steady hand and a focus on design excellence at every scale.
Her portfolio includes regional work in K–12 and higher education, civic and government facilities, and corporate workplaces. Kathy often engages long before design begins, helping clients understand how real estate, culture, and systems shape their mission. Her commitment to high-performance buildings and landscapes is reflected in deep green projects like Utah’s first LEED Platinum-certified USU Swaner EcoCenter.
Through integrated thinking and collaboration, Kathy helps clients translate their values into places that serve, inspire, and endure.
