MEET THE ARCHITECT

With 16 years of experience in the industry, Betsy's career encompasses a variety of project types and locations. Through these unique experiences, she’s learned to enjoy every aspect of the project and seeks to find opportunities for great design at every turn.

After earning her Master’s Degree in Architecture from Kansas State University, Betsy began her career in Los Angeles, where she developed an appreciation for beautiful materials and custom luxury design. She returned back to Manhattan (the Little Apple), where she enjoyed developing client relationships through designing several residential renovations.










Over the past 12 years, Betsy has loved being back in Kansas City with friends and family. She has learned the value of the design process and team collaboration. Through co-creating with all team members, Betsy enjoys guiding the client through every stage of the project. She believes that client feedback, early and often, helps to ensure a successful project. With her design guidance, her goal is to create a unique and beautiful project that delights your family for decades to come.

After a good number of years in the construction and remodeling industry, I can say comfortably that Betsy has been the easiest architect to work with. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about her craft, she is also able to be flexible to accommodate the client's needs. She delivers a great product that I'm more than one occasion has gotten compliments from fellow builders and the city officials.

Betsy was a dream to work with from start to finish! Her architectural and interior designs were creative and catered to our preferences, while showing consideration for our practical constraints. I loved how Betsy brought her designs to life with detailed 3D renderings to aid my understanding of the options. Betsy also managed our expectations and the project’s timeline well, and she went above and beyond by helping us navigate working with a contractor for the first time. I have already recommended her services to several friends and neighbors.

Betsy with OAK Design Studio was a pleasure to work with on my recent addition project in Prairie Village. Her communication from the beginning was relaxed and approachable. The most important thing I felt she added to my project was that she saw the value in collaborating with me to achieve my design vision. She worked quickly and efficiently on both renderings and plans. After the initial drawings were delivered she remained available during the project. While I didn’t reach out often she always took my calls and helped me bounce ideas when that was going above and beyond what I had hired her for. I highly recommend her to others and have even shared her contact for those needing architectural services on upcoming projects.
