Kristin joined Burns + Beyerl Architects in April 2005 as an intern architect. Her responsibilities are constantly evolving as she learns new skills from her seasoned colleagues.

At a young age Kristin's parents pursued a lifelong dream to move to the Caribbean and live on a sailboat. For several years Kristin and her family traveled the Eastern Caribbean, South America, and up the East Coast of the United States.

After returning to the United States, Kristin pursued her interest in art and was accepted into the visual arts program at the Perpich Center for Arts Education (PCAE). There she studied the fine arts as well as graphic design and multi-media.

After graduating from PCAE, Kristin attended the University of Minnesota where she studied architecture, animation, and video art. In December 2003, Kristin graduated with a double major in art and architecture. While at the U of MN Kristin co-founded the Students for New Urbanism (SNU) - a forum that encourages students and professionals to meet and discuss the importance of community development and urban planning.

Outside the office, Kristin enjoys exploring the city, watching films, traveling, painting, animation, and working on her Edgewater condo.
