KKC Staff

Kendig Keast Collaborative has assembled a highly-qualified staff who contribute the breadth of knowledge and depth of experience required to provide sound advice to our clients. Collaborative team members are educated with advanced degrees in planning, public administration, economics, landscape architecture, or law, with interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees and special studies in architecture, community and regional planning, urban design, land planning, resource planning, geographic and information management systems, communication, and facilitation. Our backgrounds include experience with local, county, and regional governments, civic organizations, developers, and neighbors who are affected by new development. This diversity of experience gives us a range of perspectives regarding planning, regulatory, and development issues and the types of measures that will be most effective to resolve -- or, ideally, prevent -- conflicts. We are committed to our clients and the profession as we strive to improve development processes and outcomes through advanced planning methods and innovation.
