Kieran is an avid learner in all facets of his life. Within structural engineering, he enjoys working with a variety of materials and engaging in unique design problems as projects require. His interest in sustainability drives both his focus on efficient structures and his affinity for timber design. He values the ability to communicate ideas visually through details and diagrams, which are integral to his design process. Kieran earned his bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and his master’s in structural engineering from UC San Diego. During school, he worked in technical theater, which gave him an appreciation for acoustics and rigging within structures. Outside of the office, Kieran can be found hiking, rock climbing, cooking, and testing his friends’ knowledge of geography.
