With a background in architecture, Kara enjoys working on detail studies and investigating the materiality and fabrication of spatial compositions. As a landscape architect, Kara is curious about the ability to construct nature and the exploratory aspect of the outdoors. She finds inspiration in encouraging others to spend time outside and share nature-driven experiences.

Kara received a Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, and she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to joining MVVA in 2021, she worked as a sea kayaking guide on Tybee Island, Georgia.
