Jonathon P. Cruickshank

As a graduate of the KSU-UMKC cooperative Masters in Architecture program, I have a deep passion for the design world and actively strive to succeed as a professional in the architectural community. My studies in architecture have given me valuable insight and have made me realize that there is a footprint that we, as members of the design community, can leave on the world. This realization has only increased my passion for the field and my desire to make a positive impact through my work. Having spent the first two years of my design education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, I gained a unique understanding of how to approach the design process in an urban context. This exposure allowed me to view design through a different lens and has shaped my perspective on the role of designers in society. I believe that as designers, we have a responsibility to strive for the best and create environments that not only function well but also have a positive impact on people's lives. As a graduate, I am committed to achieving excellence in my professional career. I am enthusiastic about expanding my horizons and gaining a deeper understanding of the world of architecture through firsthand experiences. I am open to new opportunities and different types of employment, eager to continue learning and growing as a designer, whether through internships, full-time positions, or diverse project collaborations.
