Kate Fox Whyte leads Fox Whyte Landscape Architecture and Design, a Toronto based firm specializing in residential and commercial spaces. Born in Calgary and raised in Peterborough, Kate moved to Toronto in grade four. She developed her creative skills at the Claude Watson School for the Arts and Earl Haig Secondary School before earning a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Guelph. Mentored by art teacher Cathy Quinn, she shadowed a student in Maurice Nelischer's Materials and Techniques class, solidifying her career path.

Early on, Kate interned at Terraplan and worked at Janet Rosenberg and Studio, contributing to public projects like the Shaw Festival Theatre. She launched her practice in 2005, securing a substantial Rosedale project through Corbin and Good. Concurrently, she managed private estates for Mark Hartley for seven years. Following a rebranding by Hambly and Woolley, her firm gained momentum, collaborating with architects like Meg Graham of Superkul and winning a national CSLA award. Today, her practice excels at maximizing tight urban sites, terraces, and green roofs.

Kate was an early participant in Building Equity in Architecture Toronto. In June 2025, she partnered with Jake Olivera of Workbench to launch été, an outdoor furniture line. Inspired by a need for shallow terrace planters, été won Product of the Year at the Interior Design Show and a Best in Design award from Designlines.

Kate enjoys yoga, piano, and time with her husband and daughters, Ivy and Olivia.
