Suzanne Kraus, AIA

Suzanne grew up in the greater Seattle area and studied art and literature at University of Washington before receiving her Masters of Architecture from the University of British Columbia in 2015. She is inspired by tactile materials, color, and light, and draws upon design sensibilities fostered by her experience living abroad and studying architecture in Tokyo during her graduate degree. Outside of the office Suzanne is an avid reader, an adventurous traveler, and a creative home chef.
