Kristi Beattie

Kristi was five years old when she first began drawing floor plans for her Barbie dolls. Now that she has a Bachelor of Architecture from Drury University and has worked at Sapp Design for more than 14 years. She is a firm believer that architecture has the ability to inspire and her designs are always focused on the end user. Kristi’s role at the firm includes responsibilities such as client relations, design, evaluating facilities, constructing PowerPoint presentations and collaborating with building consultants to fix problems before they arise. In addition, her experience with design and marketing allows her to implement client graphics such as logos into her designs. Just as her workdays have variety, so does her free time. She and her husband keep busy with their three adopted daughters, and they love the experience of being foster parents.
