Not many people can say they dance through their workday, but Mandi is one of those few. She began dancing in third grade and never stopped. When she’s not shaking a leg, she’s planning her next travel adventure, like camel riding in Morocco. Mandi loves that there is always something new to learn in architecture. She is constantly inspired by the ability to be onsite, watching a project being built, and then seeing the users interacting with the space. Mandi received her Master of Architecture from the University of Kansas and a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from the University of Missouri.

Mandi’s thesis was a design/build program where she helped design the Center for Design Research at the University of Kansas.
