Ann Slobod came to Studio KDA in 1993 with a strong desire to work with like-minded creatives who shared her love of envisioning and creating a better built environment. As VP and firm manager, Ann is the integrator of Studio KDA’s strategic big picture and day-to-day operations, drawing out and uniting the strengths of the team to create a strong firm now and for the future. Her favorite Studio KDA project is the team itself – and creating pathways and processes for their growth as individuals and as a firm. She is the Communications Chair for CREW East Bay and a member of the Urban Land Institute.
When she isn’t driving the future of Studio KDA, Ann can be found running, gardening, rescuing senior dogs, traveling with her family, and enjoying a good glass of Chablis. She studied Landscape Architecture at U.C. Santa Cruz and Communications at U.C. Berkeley.
