Katie Donahue, co-founder of K Works Studio, associate architect at Handel Architects, instructor at The University of Colorado Denver and at Parsons School of Design in New York, joins the show to talk about her passions and exploits within her busy architectural life.
Beyond all her professional roles, Katie is also busy pushing for sustainable practices like Passive House and reuse of different materials. She lends her talents to organizations like Architecture for Humanity and the Open Architecture Collaborative and consistently and powerfully advocates for underrepresented groups of designers.  Katie has also won a number of awards, most notably AIA Colorado’s Young Architect of the Year in 2013.
After the credits, this episode includes bonus recordings of us hanging out and talking about work life balance, adventures in Nepal, and designing shoes and candles and then were interrupted by both my kids while we were talking about parenthood and the profession.
