Kayla Midgette discovered her passion for architecture in high school after attending a one day introductory architecture class hosted by NewSchool of Architecture & Design. That experience solidified her desire to study and practice architecture, leading her to pursue a Bachelor of Architecture degree.
A graduate of Santana High School, she is passionate about designing spaces that are meaningful to people and creating buildings that allow individuals to experience thoughtful, well designed architecture in their everyday lives.
Throughout her academic journey, she has been actively involved in leadership and community engagement. After attending an American Institute of Architecture Students West Quad Conference in Seattle, she became deeply involved with and contributed to numerous events, including the organization’s signature Napkin Sketch fundraiser. She also participated in the school’s former diversity club, reflecting her commitment to inclusivity and community within the design profession.
Her experiences have shaped her into a thoughtful emerging architect dedicated to creating spaces that positively impact others.
