Known for programs such as Architects in Schools, fellowships and design-related events, AFO educates and inspires Oregonians from all walks of life to engage with design of the built environment.

“I’m thrilled to join the board and collaborate with local professionals in support of the AFO mission,” said Kathy. “This is a crucial time to partner with the community, highlighting the impact of design on our future while recognizing the essential role designers play in the health of our cities and state.”

Kathy is a leader in the field of experiential graphic design. She has served on the board of directors and as president of the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) and currently serves on TriMet’s Public Art Advisory Committee.

Kathy joins five new members on the 30-person board.
