The former head of the Landscape Architecture Department at Olsson Associates launched her own landscape architecture firm, Kleski & Associates.
Kimberly A. Kleski, owner and sole proprietor of Kleski & Associates, starts her firm with more than 20 years of experience and will oversee contract negotiation, project management, discipline coordination, construction management and the preparation of construction documents and specifications.
“Starting my own design firm has been a dream of mine since graduating college,” Kleski said. “Growing up and watching my dad create his architecture firm of Kleski & Associates, I felt it was my time to honor him by carrying on the company name.”
Kleski, PLA, LEED BD+C, was responsible for marketing, contracts, conceptual and final designs, managing her team, project billings and tracking future opportunities while she was at Olsson Associates.
Kleski said she looks forward to providing the same level of customer service that kept her dad in business for over 30 years.
She is a native of Ohio and earned a bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture at Ohio State University.
Kleski is board secretary for the Arizona Landscape Contractors Association. She is also involved with USGBC, ALCA, ASLA and Valley Partnership. At Valley Partnership Kleski served as co-chair for the 2016 Community Project at Sunshine Acres.
