ka architecture adds two designers

Focused on providing its clients with quality design and notable client service, ka architecture adds two designers to its growing firm.  Based out of an office in Tampa, Florida, Ken Sizemore joins ka as a studio leader where he will contribute his design expertise to ka's projects.  Richard Wilden re-joins ka as senior design architect honing in on his experience with residential and master planning work.

"I look forward to this challenging opportunity and know my past experience will benefit the goals and vision of ka," Sizemore says.  "I will have the chance to do what I do best, which is combine my strengths in design and management with my creative and analytic sensibility," he adds.

Prior to joining ka, Sizemore held a position which consisted of opening a branch office in London where he co-managed European works and contracts for a US-based employer.  In addition, his previous experience included leading project teams through design and development, consultant and tenant coordination, and acting as a client liaison.   

Sizemore holds a master of architecture/urban design degree from Harvard University and a bachelor of art in design from University of Florida. 

Richard Wilden returns to ka architecture as a senior design architect. As a talented designer of residential and master planning projects, his experience ranges from urban condominiums to shopping malls.

"Returning to ka has offered me a great opportunity to continue to use my design experience both in the residential market as well as for the revitalization of urban districts and mixed-use neighborhoods," Wilden says. 

Prior to launching his career, Wilden earned his bachelor of architecture degree from Kent State University. 

"Adding new talent to our design teams is always exciting and both Ken and Rich offer such unique perspectives based on their backgrounds. I'm confident in their abilities and know they will be integral components as we continue to evolve our design potential," says James Heller, president of ka.
