Associate
Casey is an Associate in Lake Flato’s Eco-Conservation Studio, where she has spent over a decade working alongside leaders in sustainable and regionally responsive design. Guided by the belief that the most enduring architecture is deeply connected to its landscape, her work seeks to seamlessly blend built and natural environments, creating places that elevate everyday experiences and foster connection to the outdoors.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Architecture, Casey also studied at the Bauhaus, where she honed her eye for design and craftsmanship. Her blended background in art and architecture, paired with a lifelong love of the outdoors, informs her holistic approach to human-centered, environmentally attuned design.
Since joining Lake Flato in 2014, she has contributed to a wide range of civic and commercial projects that embody the firm’s ethos of craft, stewardship, and regional authenticity.
