Mary Myers, ARCHITECT

Mary has a decade of experience in architecture, with more than seven of those years in custom residential work. She has designed and built projects of varying scope and scale in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the Chicagoland area.

Mary enjoys the complexity of the architectural process – keeping an eye on the ‘big picture’ of the original design, paying vigilant attention to details throughout construction, and guiding the owners during their project. Mary loves that each project is entirely unique, with a new team of owners, designers, and countless skilled craftsmen coming together to create a structure suited to the owners.

Mary has been with K | Nelson Architects since 2020. She lives with her husband and daughter in St. Paul’s Merriam Park neighborhood.
