Little Rock-based architectural firm Allison + Partners has promoted Katie Bruhl to partner. Bruhl started with the firm in 2008 and has been a senior associate since 2015.

“Katie has been an integral part of our firm since the day she walked in the door,” said Aaron Ruby, a principal of the firm. “We could not be happier that she is now a full partner in our organization.”

Bruhl graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. She is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and USGBC Arkansas Chapter. As a LEED accredited professional, Bruhl helps incorporate sustainable design strategies early in the design process.

“Katie has been a leader in our office for years, her ascension to partner is well deserved,” said Chris Hartsfield, a principal of the firm. “From her work on our award-winning Faulkner Performing Arts Center project and across everything we do, Katie is central to the success of our company.”

The project received the Highest Honor Award from AIA Arkansas, and was recently recipient of an AIA Regional Award. The project also earned LEED Silver, with Bruhl as the LEED accredited professional responsible for the documentation.

“Our work always begins with envisioning our clients’ goals and teaming with them to make the project a success. I could not be more excited to expand my commitment to the firm and our clients with this announcement. I love what I do, and I look forward to being a part of Allison + Partners throughout my career,” Bruhl said.
