Riley Palkert holds a B.S. Interior Architecture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in addition to her Master of Architecture from SAIC. She has professional experience working on single family, senior living, corporate, and education projects throughout the country. She believes architecture is an artifact of science and culture that should not be approached carelessly, and that design for the future cannot be done well without knowledge of the past and experience of the present. Her approach to design is instinctive and contextual, and utilizes diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives to produce impactful spaces.
