Our values

What do we value?

Passion

We are looking for those who live, breathe and dream design. When faced with the challenge you would respond with “yes! And…”

If you have a strong sense of ownership in what you do and a constant hunger to never stop designing, we will work well together.

Process

Process at KGD is to be flexible and open-minded. We don’t check off boxes. This applies to the interactions with the internal team, and most importantly, our stakeholders and clients.

The process done right is the building block of trust. And trust is the foundation of our business.

Team Player

KGD’s tight-knit project teams need people with whom others would like to work, explore design ideas, as well as socialize.

At our studio the best ideas emerge, no matter who they are coming from - a principal or an intern. Our collaboration thrives on positivity.

KGD Mentorship program

The program brings together Emerging Professionals (EPs) with firm Mentors engaging one another in a mutual learning and networking environment.

The program's goal is to confer professional knowledge, culture, and leadership strategies from one architectural generation to another. The program fosters symbiotic relationships centered around mentorship, dialogue, and shared experiences.

Meetings occur once a month and focus on the specific challenges facing emerging professionals-from building long-term professional connections to strategies for career advancement.

The meetings allow EPs to familiarize themselves with the firm's resources, guest speakers' personal stories of growth to impart lessons on career paths, business management, social responsibility, and more. All meetings are followed by an open session where the speakers can engage attendees on a personal basis.

Emerging Professionals

Our Emerging Professionals Program sets up a framework to help EPs identify and reach their career goals and tap into all the resources KGD has to offer.
