Inspired by travel and local design culture, Kai-Ling enjoys creating spaces that balance performance, beauty, and social impact.

Terevina Tawdroos, Designer
Prior to joining the KSS Princeton office, Terevina’s portfolio included multi-family developments across various scales and phases, as well as high-end airport lounges. Her approach centers on combining creativity with precision to create functional, efficient, and meaningful spaces. She looks forward to exploring how constraints can become opportunities and translating ideas into physical environments that serve a real purpose.

Johnathan joined the KSS Philadelphia office in spring 2026, bringing several years of experience with a focus on multifamily residential work. Guided by curiosity and craft, he enjoys collaborating through each project phase and values the shared problem-solving that shapes thoughtful, well-executed architecture.
