IIn 2004, Kathryn (Marsh)Shaffer AIA began her firm Kathy Shaffer Architecture & Design. During it's incorporation in 2008-2011, the firm continued it's work under the name Kathy Shaffer Architect, Inc. (KSA).

In 1984 Kathryn graduated Magna Cum Laude from the School of Architecture & Design at Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Interior Architecture. In 1988 she graduated Suma Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Architecture from Louisiana Tech University.  Originally her work began when she was a teenager working in her architect-father's office in the 70s. Her internship began in 1984 in Connecticut and Louisiana and the final stages were completed in 1988 while she played a key role in the design of the award-winning Carousel Center in Syracuse, NY. In 1989 she became NCARB certified and obtained her license in Connecticut and California. In 1990 she began working on her own as Kathryn Shaffer, AIA on commercial and residential projects including the Amanda Residence. 

For an interim period, Kathy worked for firms including LDA with HOK Architects on the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, SGPA on new and renovated commercial projects and with Huntsman Group on tenant improvement projects for internationally known property owners including Walter Shorenstein (The Shorenstein Company). Also prior to starting KSA, she worked with Mahoney Architects (now Nest Architecture) on high-end multi-million dollar custom homes in California.

Today, the seven (7) year old firm is committed to the  design and implementation of a modern design philosophy using environmentally sustainable architecture.
