Kristine is a senior architectural designer whose work focuses on adaptive reuse, housing, workplace environments, and community-focused projects. She earned her Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis and has served as a guest lecturer in the university’s undergraduate architecture program. Drawing on experience across planning, design, and rehabilitation projects, Kristine helps clients transform existing spaces to support evolving needs. She is particularly interested in the stewardship of existing buildings and the opportunities adaptive reuse presents to create lasting value through sustainable design.

Her background in art, design, and making informs her creative approach to architecture. A LEED Green Associate, she continually explores innovative materials and methods that support environmental responsibility in the built environment.

“We get that lines sketched on paper have a real impact in the world, so we think about consequence a lot. It’s more than the tangible building. It’s what the project does for the people we’re working for. It’s the ability for them to achieve their vision.”

“If you line up the buildings Trivers has executed, they’re all very different in a positive way. All our projects are rooted in ideas and context. It’s very apparent that we’re thinking about a specific project, for a specific client, in a specific location.”

“We’re passionate about design and practice. Our experience is that great design comes from being able to create great relationships among people from diverse skillsets and backgrounds.”
