Kelsey Rowe, PE, CLD

Partner, Senior Electrical Engineer,

“Every project is a new challenge and a new problem to solve, with really unique parameters. Because the parameters are the users—the people!”

Kelsey is a leader in Design Collaborative’s Education Studio. DC’s in-house and in-studio engineering team allows the firm to provide cohesive solutions and a seamless experience. Kelsey is energized by DC’s commitment to innovation—but recognizes and appreciates that it all starts with 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.
