Frances Wood

Designer

Frances grew up in the small town of Richmond, Kansas, where a strong sense of community shaped her upbringing. Her childhood was filled with diverse extracurriculars, outdoor exploration, and hands-on experience with historic home renovation projects.

Her passion for architecture began early—sparked by family stories, visits to construction sites with her dad, and frequent trips to Kansas City to study notable buildings. She earned her architecture degree from the University of Arkansas, where she built lasting connections, honed her design skills, and spent a semester studying in Rome.

As a dedicated and detail-oriented architectural designer, she has experience in research-driven urban planning, residential design, hospitality design, and commercial remodels.

Frances is working toward NCARB licensure, and spends her free time hiking, crocheting, and reading
