Evan Dodds
Architectural Designer
Evan is a graduate from the University of Calgary, having attained a Bachelor’s degree in Urban Studies, as well as a Master’s degree in Architecture. Evan’s journey through the building industry is varied: previously working as a survey assistant; transitioning to the HVAC side of things as a mechanical designer; and now working to become a full-fledge architect.
Through his design, Evan looks to develop spaces and places that are more collective, accessible, and mutable in their nature—ones that are set up for their inhabitants in the now, but that are easy to change and morph to accommodate those of the future.
Reanne Kusiak
Designer, B.F.A. M.F.A.
Reanne's journey as an artist started early, constantly doodling and apparently absorbed by art & art history. She has a natural eye for design & is a valued member of the CYNC design team. It is always kind of a marvel to follow the development of an idea into a very defined and articulated plan.
Denise Owens
Controller / Office Manager
Denise is unquestionably the backbone of the office, kind of the "Den Mother" if that is not too offensive. Denise is who you answer to when you are behind on paying us (haha), but on the flip side, she is also the one who pays our AP.
