We’re thrilled to introduce Lindsey Kohler-Austin, who has joined our team as Office Manager and will be your primary point of contact for all client needs. With her extensive background in banking and a genuine passion for creativity, Lindsey brings both professional expertise and fresh perspective to our firm.
Lindsey comes to us with years of experience in the banking industry, where she honed her skills in client relations and operational excellence. While her role as Office Manager doesn’t involve hands-on design work, she describes herself as “a creative at heart” and is excited to learn more about architecture and design. This combination of business acumen and creative curiosity makes her perfectly suited to bridge the gap between our design vision and your project needs.
One of Lindsey’s greatest passions is photography, particularly black and white film photography. She doesn’t just capture images, she processes and scans her film at home, demonstrating the same attention to detail and craftsmanship that we value in our architectural work. “I am really proud of my photography, and the skills I have learned over the years,” she shares. This artistic sensibility will serve her well in understanding and communicating the visual aspects of our architectural projects.
Originally from Kent, Ohio, Lindsey has called Harrisonburg home for almost 10 years. Her deep connection to our community aligns perfectly with our firm’s dedication to serving local clients. She knows this area well and understands the unique character that makes our region special.
When she’s not managing client relationships or exploring her photography hobby, Lindsey enjoys hiking, especially when there’s a photo opportunity involved. She lives locally with her boyfriend Josh, and they’re hoping to add some furry family members to their household soon. Her favorite entertainment spans from the heartwarming optimism of Ted Lasso to the nostalgic charm of 13 Going On 30 and the artistic beauty of Howl’s Moving Castle, a range that speaks to her appreciation for both human connection and visual storytelling.
Lindsey describes herself as “an open book,” and that transparency will be invaluable as she helps navigate your architectural journey with us. Whether you’re planning a new build, renovation, or simply exploring possibilities, Lindsey will be there to ensure clear communication, smooth processes, and exceptional service every step of the way.
We’re confident that Lindsey’s combination of professional experience, creative insight, and genuine care for client relationships will enhance your experience with our firm. She’s ready to help bring your architectural vision to life while maintaining the personal touch and community focus that has defined our practice for nearly four decades.
Welcome to the team, Lindsey!
