Her design approach is inspired by sustainable solutions and influenced by art and the natural environment.

Tristan Francis
Project Manager
Tristan comes from a long line of skilled carpenters and builders — hands-on creators who instilled in him a deep respect for craft and place. After studying architecture at Cal Poly, he spent formative years on the West Coast working in adaptive reuse of historic buildings and international design competitions before relocating to the Roaring Fork Valley.
As a licensed architect in the state of Oklahoma, Tristan brings his grounded, place-based sensibility to the firm.
To Tristan, architecture is a place where human culture and natural landscape are energetically joined together. He believes that thoughtful design has a transformative effect on individual lives and entire communities.
When he’s not at the drawing table, Tristan is usually outdoors with his partner and young son—walking, biking, running, camping, or keeping an eye out for excavators, diggers, and dump trucks.
Jackson Kruse
Project Designer
After graduating from the School of Environmental Design at the University of Colorado Boulder, Jackson started his career with a drive to explore how the built environment shapes our collective lifestyle and social cohesion. Growing up in the Roaring Fork Valley has inspired him to take on a career where he can make an impact on the sustainable growth of the place he calls home.
Jackson’s design approach centers around holistic systems thinking, emphasizing the interplay between infrastructural and ecological networks and their relationship with the broader built environment.
Aside from Jackson’s professional aspirations, he enjoys spending time in the mountains, skiing, biking, kayaking, rafting, fishing, climbing, and camping.
Sanskruti J. Kakadiya
Project Designer
After completing her undergraduate studies at the SCET Faculty of Architecture in her hometown of Surat India, Sanskruti acquired an architectural master’s degree from Syracuse University and began her community-oriented design career at SITE.

Fluent in five languages, Sanskruti brings a broad cultural lens to her work. When not designing, she enjoys swimming and is excited to start skiing and learning how to golf as she settles into mountain life.
