In 2004 Kimberly founded Blue Water Studio, a commercial design and planning firm, specializing in Healthcare, Community and Sustainability projects for built and outdoor environments. With specialty credentials like LEED AP (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accredited Professional) and EDAC (Evidence Based Design & Construction Accreditation & Certification) Kimberly gets to do what she loves for a living while serving her community through the design of holistic spaces and places. She can frequently be found advocating for equitable access to greenspaces, clean air, water, and nutritious food for all, through responsible, adaptive reuse and sustainable new development projects.

In addition to these fun adventures, Kimberly is also co-founder of RoKi Design. RoKi is a silk scarf & accessories company that produces sustainable, wearable works of art while supporting non-profit organizations, collaborating with amazing artists and re-purposing vintage luxury silk scarves.
