Christie Deng comes to her work as a project manager for Studio KDA’s housing projects from an engineering background and a passion for design. Weaving these interests together, Christie rides the wave between aesthetics and analytics as a problem solver operating on multiple planes. Christie has been with Studio KDA since 2016 and thrives in working on multiple projects concurrently, from large ground-up multifamily buildings to retrofitting a building for a community arts organization.
When she isn’t problem-solving with her coworkers, Christie can be found attending live music shows and theatre productions, gardening and tending to her chickens, enjoying good food, and hiking with her husband, two kids, and two dogs. She holds a BS in Industrial Engineering from the University of Iowa and a Master of Architecture from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
