Kael often dreams of the wonders of the world of design. His family legacy in construction and art spans several generations, with his ancestors having a significant role in shaping the world.

He is fascinated by the transformation of place and the impact they have on the beholder in both the built environment and in nature. "Immersion is the best form of learning" he would say while riding bus after bus through villages, towns, and cities, and...to the Sounders games.

Still, theres nothing more important to Kael than family. One could say that Kael has expanded his family by being a part of the Bench Dog Architects pack.
