DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
We see a world alive with design possibilities that create thriving environments for all people and places.
A destination firm
We embrace diversity of thought and background as powerful forces for innovation and growth. True collaboration means treating people equitably, as a firm, and with respect at the personal level. KTGY is only as successful as our individual team members and our desire is to foster a thriving, inclusive and collaborative workplace that is viewed as an aspirational place where the next generation of talent aspires to work. Our Belief Statement – history, approach and commitment – is a reflection of our core values and commitment to inclusion. This statement reinforces our shared purpose, inspires our actions, and unites us as we move forward.
Our History
Since, 1991, KTGY has been committed to being a destination firm, one that embraces diversity of thought and background as a powerful force for innovation and growth. Our founders were a pioneering group of leaders who created a legacy of modeling inclusive hiring practices to create a rich mosaic of passionate, curious and talented people to bring innovative design to all people and places.
Our Approach
Today, we continue that legacy with our leaders championing and maintaining an inclusive culture that respects people of all races, religions, cultures, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientation, gender identities, national origins, family and marital status, socioeconomic status, veteran status, and other unique characteristics to foster a thriving, inclusive, and collaborative workplace.
Our Commitment
To promote an inclusive environment, we strive to implement clear, equitable career advancement paths, ensuring all team members have equal opportunities to grow and succeed.
To recruit and retain passionate and talented team members from diverse backgrounds and disciplines that embrace our core values and the firm’s guiding attributes: design, collaboration, care and partnership.
To collaborate with a diverse mix of clients and partners, to produce innovative and inclusive designs that make a positive impact on people’s lives and communities.
“My favorite thing about KTGY culture is the diversity. This brings a variety of experiences and approaches to the work we do, which makes it very enjoyable because I am constantly learning not just about architecture, but a plethora of other things – this helps everyone be a more well-rounded architect.”
Jose Manuel Castillo-Zeng, Senior Project Manager
