Professional Senior Architectural Technologist

Kirsten Smith

Originally from Zimbabwe, I tried my hand at swimming professionally. Though the tan I got from the goggles was less than ideal, the experience took me across the world. Subsequently, I hung up my goggles and put on my running shoes, discovering a love for running marathons. Apart from my sport-obsessive behavior, I have obtained a BCom in Marketing and a BSc in Architecture from the University of Pretoria.

Seeing designs come alive on site and the joy those spaces bring people is why I love architecture. I also enjoy the challenge of technical details. My “hart se punt” is my husband and our two children, whom I am proud to say passed puppy school. The four of us enjoy summer and the joys it brings, particularly braaing—whether it’s steak or pizza. Anything on the fire, but always with a glass of wine.
