She also has a background in architectural visualizations including rendering, animations, and virtual and augmented reality, and an understanding of construction sequencing and logistics.
Kiley has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Fairmont State University (2010) and a Master of Architecture from University of Maryland, College Park (2012).

what we do
our approach to architecture
The name for Ven Studio LLC comes from the idea of synergy: the marriage between different elements of design and construction, and the harmony that comes from well-balanced design. We emulate this idea of synergy in every aspect of our business: we design at the intersection of function and beauty, work at the junction of precision and efficiency, and collaborate at the midpoint of complexity and clarity.
Our goal as a firm is to reflect and encourage intangible ideals through the tangible built environment. On a smaller scale, we design our spaces to elicit comfort, joy, balance, and tranquility. On the larger scale, we seek to promote equity, health, happiness, and community. We offer services for both residential and commercial spaces to have the opportunity to serve the community at all levels.
