About Kelly McDougall

Kelly McDougall holds a BS Degree in Construction Science from Texas A&M University College of Architecture where she first developed a love for all things design and construction. For the past 25 years, Kelly has worked in both fields, diversifying her resume and building a unique skillset.  Originally joining Czopek & Erdenberger in 1998 as a Senior Designer, Kelly was involved in a variety of projects from multi-family housing to higher education working with both private and government clients.  As a Project Engineer for the Natt McDougall Company, her resume expands to include many in-water and near water works such as dams, floating surface collectors, and fish ladders.  Branching out on her own, Kelly has designed and managed the construction of several residential projects.  Reconnecting with Linda Czopek of Czopek Design Studio in 2019, they have recently collaborated on several design projects including The Grove and Round Lake Lodging at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.  Earlier collaborations include Oregon State University’s McNary Dining Hall, Corbett Crescent Townhomes, Cannon Beach House, Seven Feathers Truck & Travel Center, Oregon Health & Sciences University, and the Original Taco House Restaurant Renovation.  Kelly believes good design begins with a practical understanding of the construction process, an inherent ability to read architectural plan sets, and a desire to resolve issues as they may arise for the betterment of the overall project.  When not in the office, Kelly enjoys time with her two college kids, long walks with her Mastiff, Mac, and golfing in Black Butte Ranch with her husband, Mike.
