Anson Pao

Graduate Technologist

Anson is a Graduate Technologist at TKA+D with an interdisciplinary background in Urban Forestry and Architectural and Building Technology. Her combined academic and professional experiences have shaped a multidisciplinary approach to architecture, bringing together technical knowledge, environmental awareness, and creative problem-solving. Through her studies at UBC and BCIT, alongside industry experience in architectural design and construction, she has developed a well-rounded understanding of the building process, from early design exploration and development to technical documentation and construction coordination. Anson is interested in how architecture can shape human experiences, foster connections with the surrounding environment, and create a lasting sense of place. She is particularly drawn to the relationship between the built and natural environments, with a focus on sustainable, human-centred design. Outside of work, you may find Anson hiking, exploring local cafés, or playing tennis.
