Our Team
Kelsey Rowe, PE, CLD
Partner, Director of Engineering,
“Every project is a new challenge and a new problem to solve, with really unique parameters. Because the parameters are the users—the people!”

The firm’s think tank-style, people-first approach allows Kelsey to show off her interpersonal skills and creative and artistic side—while still being math and science based. Kelsey keeps a watchful eye on trends in education, especially trends surrounding the technology that supports each aspect of learning—with a particular focus on instructors and students. As Director of Engineering, she is helping guide the future of Design Collaborative. And the future is bright.
