This week's guest is Kaley Fought. As Principal and founding member of Framework Studio Architecture, based in Oregon, Kaley is a lead architect and an NCIDQ certified interior designer. Embracing a multi-disciplinary and progressive studio, she and her partner Chris started Framework with a vision to focus on human-centric, community-enhancing work; creating places that inspire joy and foster meaningful experiences.  Kaley’s collaborative approach and pursuit of human-centered design leads her to be a project and client advocate throughout the design process and construction. She is an active member in the community, currently serving as the President of AIA Oregon, and sits on the City of Salem Planning Commission. Kaley believes in the power and impact of architecture, and that architects have a responsibility to improve the world around us through sustainable, equitable, and thoughtful design. At Framework, this is utilized as the platform to inform every project, leading clients through a process to design environmental experiences that encourage dynamic inclusive design at all scales. As an avid equestrian, when not in the studio Kaley can always be found at the barn with her two horses - 4 year old Leo and 30 year old Harley.

I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Kaley at the AIA Leadership Summit in DC last month and her passion for community centered design caught my attention immediately that I knew she had to come on the show! I hope you enjoy this episode.
