About me

kate.ham@me.com

I am a space-centric designer with a lifelong curiosity for how environments shape human experience. My passion for architecture extends far beyond the Rhino screen — I’ve filled four passports traveling through cities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, seeking out spaces that inspire and provoke thought. Whether staying in boutique hotels in Milan, Barcelona, Tokyo, or Seoul, living in high-rise residences like the Veer Tower in Las Vegas, attending immersive performances such as Anyma at the Sphere, or experiencing the vibrant energy of Outside Lands, I immerse myself in diverse environments to study what makes them memorable and impactful.

My portfolio reflects a commitment to both large-scale urban visions and intimate spatial storytelling. I work fluently with Unreal Engine, Cesium, Revit, CATIA, Unity, Oculus Medium, CNC fabrication, and 3D printing to transform ideas into vivid, tangible experiences. Highlighted projects such as Strategy II: Re:code ADLA and Vertical ADUs Landscape show my ability to merge rigorous data analysis with compelling design narratives.

Before my formal architectural training at SCI-Arc, I spent four years as a table games dealer at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, honing precision, adaptability, and interpersonal skills that now inform my collaborative design approach. Based in San Francisco, I strive to create spaces — both physical and digital — that inspire, connect, and endure.
