Kaycee grew up in Swansea, MA, before heading to Kent State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Architecture in 2016. While there, she had the opportunity to study abroad in Italy, deepening her appreciation for global design. She later returned to New England to complete her Master of Architecture at Roger Williams University in 2018. The first four years of her career were spent gaining experience in public safety, government, and education architecture before she transitioned into hospitality design, joining the CDA team in 2022.
An early bird by nature, Kaycee enjoys Rhode Island’s coastal charm, with Colt State Park as a favorite retreat. Her adventurous spirit has taken her across Europe, visiting destinations like France, Spain, Switzerland, and Greece, with Scotland and New Zealand next on her list. When she’s not designing, you might find her gardening, cooking in her sun-drenched kitchen, or improving her watercoloring.
