After many networking events, Kim Bowen decided the best way to describe what she does as "everything but architecture." Tackling the business operations in small businesses means wearing many hats, from finance and human resources to marketing and community outreach. Kim's diverse experience from education efforts for a national trade association, community relations for a high-end continuing care retirement community, to mom and preschool teacher has given her a great base to tackle the challenges of a growing architecture practice. It also never ceases to amaze her how much preschoolers and architects have in common. 

Kim holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA, and a Master's in Business Administration from American Public University.  She is a member of the Society for Human Resource Management, a graduate of Leadership Washington County (Class 31), and a former member of Board of Directors for the Maryland Symphony Orchestra.
