CURIOSITY

WE LOVE TO LEARN

At Kamus + Keller we foster a learning environment. We. Love. To. Learn. We are detail-lovers, pursuers of doing it right the first time, masters of rising up to the challenge. We have online forums for everything from interior design, lightscaping, wellness, to engineering, municipalities and code. Learning is also the key to team success. We adapt and keep ahead of rapidly-changing requirements because we have the knowledge and ability to contribute.

“I appreciate the team’s flexibility. Overcoming obstacles is very satisfying. The team is encouraging. We like to help each other, and learn with each other.” Aga, Sr. Project Manager

DAGO, FIELD SURVEYOR
I love the environment here. Very welcoming and lively. My last office was serious. Here, there’s lots of collaboration. We work well together.
GIECEL, DESIGNER
This office is open and really friendly. Other firms are cold and don’t talk to each other. Here, we speak with each other and there’s an openness to ask questions when you need help.
BALANCE + FUN

LOVING DESIGN AND LIFE, TOO

How we foster life outside of work is what makes Kamus + Keller a special company. How we live–investing in our families, personal passions, philanthropy–comes back to our clients in the quality of our work, and valued relationships. Good companies begin with happy employees. We go out of our way to connect, laugh, share food and give back. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I seriously feel I have everything I have ever wanted.” Sara, part-time Job Captain, mother, avid hiker and mountain-lover.
