After finishing a degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary, Kate completed her Master of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation at Columbia University. Working at various architecture firms in both Calgary and New York, Kate’s resume includes projects at every scale, from sculptural installations to mixed-use buildings and single-family residences to master plans. Kate founded XYC in 2013 to tackle prominent but challenging sites with a multi-disciplinary approach. Kate successfully stewarded the Carraig Ridge housing development through the subdivision approval process in fall 2017, and completed construction of M2 in Calgary's East Village in 2019. XYC is currently working on custom home projects in partnership with Young Projects, Bold Workshop, Saunders Architecture and Endemic Architecture.
