Project Designer
lcollins@tkwa.com
Lydia’s approach to design comes from a long standing passion for detail, precision, and creative iteration. Coming from a family of avid hikers and campers, she’s intrigued by the intersection of indoor and outdoor spaces and strives to create built environments that emulate the tranquility of nature. A strong belief in the transformative qualities of the built environment lead her to empathetic and human-focused design strategies.
A strong background in artistic pursuits including woodworking, collage, and hand-drawing allow Lydia to think of a building as a composition. These strengths also translate to clean and eye-catching graphic representations. Outside of work, you can find Lydia napping in a hammock or perusing a local antique store.
