Bryan Beley, AIA | Associate
Pragmatic. Enthusiastic. Perceptive
Associate Bryan Beley is an emerging leader at KMB architects who is drawn to finding balance in his work – balance between design and project management; the program and the budget; function and form. Bryan is constantly seeking process improvement, innovative tools, and additional knowledge to hone his craft.
“Using the right tools to solve problems – I love that part of the design process… I’m always exploring how different tools can be integrated into both the design process and project management.”
Bryan’s positivity shines through in all his interactions with clients, colleagues, and consultants. As a leader of the development and refinement of KMB architects’ Revit and AutoCAD standards, Bryan serves as the conduit between our design and production staff. He is driven to seek the most efficient way to deliver projects and works hard to create standardization across the firm.
“I’m one of the lead facilitators in the firm for production and graphics management. I organize a review group once a month to help set firm standards in production and to review how to use these tools most efficiently between all our staff.”
Bryan describes himself as a pragmatic designer who believes that a strong start, built on the foundation of a solid program and a clear understanding of the functional adjacencies is the key to a successful design process. He frequently finds himself circling back to schematic bubble diagrams to ensure that the developed floor plan does not sacrifice any key element identified in the original idea.
“Using the right tools to solve problems – I love that part of the design process… I’m always exploring how different tools can be integrated into both the design process and project management.”
Outside of architecture, Bryan enjoys a variety of outdoor activities and sports. While studying in the Philippines, he shared his love for “American” football by helping lead the Tiger University Flag Football Club and taught the foreign sport to other interested students. Today, one might find him ascending a wall at a rock climbing gym, exploring a new city, or one of the Pacific Northwest’s scenic trails with a camera by his side. Fascinated with product design, ingenuity, and functionality, he’s also always researching for the newest and greatest photography accessories and acquiring the best backpacks and climbing gear.
