Kelly’s multidisciplinary background spans a wide range of project types, giving her a broad understanding of how design decisions affect construction, performance, and long-term use. Sustainability has been a consistent thread throughout her career, including her work on a zero-net-energy project in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. At TEF, she has developed a particular interest in historic renovation and the challenge of adapting older buildings for contemporary use while preserving the character and history that make them significant. Kelly is most energized by working with colleagues and clients who care deeply about their work and the impact their projects can have on their communities.
