About Katie Hunt

With a background in textile design and architecture, Katie is attuned to how the human body perceives materials, inhabits space, and informs design. More than 12 years of experience in public-sector architecture has instilled in her an appreciation for doing a lot with a little. Her positivity, problem-solving skills, critical eye for design, and collaborative spirit make her an asset to the office and classroom. Since returning to Memphis from Seattle in 2019, Katie has focused on adaptive reuse. She relishes the opportunity to revive and reimagine existing structures and has found that often, the most sustainable thing to do is to work with what you have. Her academic research centers on mass timber, an innovative new(ish) wood construction method. She is currently engaged in forming the Tennessee TimberWorks Collaborative and standing up a state-of-the-art research fabrication lab at the University of Memphis.
