The environments we create have a positive impact on students' lives. With a vision to enhance life through design, Sami, John and Brendon live that vision every day which helps them create extraordinary solutions.
Brendon Pollard defines success as helping other people. Back in 1989, Brendon started out at Kingscott as an intern, creating ink drawings of completed buildings for the marketing department. He had no way of knowing that his career path would lead him to become Kingscott’s seventh President. In addition to his role as President, he is also is the company's K-12 leader and a CEFPI certified educational planner. From working together with his clients to formulate extraordinary solutions that help students succeed, Brendon possesses exceptional problem-solving skills.
As a Design Architect at Kingscott, Sami Szeszulski solves challenges through architecture, creating spaces that reflect communities and improve their daily lives. Sami maintains the philosophy that architecture must follow the lead of its users and accommodate their needs - from the day-to-day, to the special occasion - and adapt over time to meet those needs. Sami views schools and their communities as true partners in the design process, combining their expertise of the many functional needs of the space with her expertise in creative cohesive design solutions that adapt and grow with the users.
John Davids has had a diverse career that includes professional practice as a designer/studio leader, providing volunteer architectural work for community organizations, and as Architect-in-Residence at Frank Lloyd Wright's "Snowflake House." He believes in Public Education and works hard every day to do his part in making great spaces for teaching and learning because he believes in kids!
