Katherine Mendez

Associate and Interior Project Director Katherine Mendez studied architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where she received both her Bachelor of Science and a master’s degree in architecture. While at Wentworth, Mendez had the opportunity to travel to Athens, Greece, to study public spaces within a dense urban fabric. Post-graduation, she worked at ElkusManfredi Architects in Boston on large-scale mixed-use and institutional projects. Upon returning to New York, Katherine transitioned to working in interior architecture at Groves & Co., where she led multiple high-end residential projects. Her design sensibility has been shaped by storytelling through design and creating multi-layered and refined spaces. At ODA, Katherine has worked on projects of multiple scales, from large mixed-use projects to construction administration to furniture design.
