About 

Rebecca Kirova joined VDTA as an architectural designer in 2016 after several years of professional experience in New York. She currently assists VDTA with a variety of projects ranging in size and scope from a graduate student housing competition in California to construction documents for a new hotel in Chicago. Her past architectural experience includes healthcare renovation projects at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Mount Sinai Health System in NYC, and Temple University Health System. Additionally, she spent eight months as an intern at Will Bruder + Partners in Phoenix, where she worked on several projects in Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District.

Maintaining a dual interest in architecture and business throughout her career, Rebecca has worked in a marketing and business development capacity for several architecture firms including Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Fernando Romero Enterprise, and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Rebecca attended the University of Chicago as a student-at-large in 2005, and completed her Master of Architecture with a minor in business at Tulane University in New Orleans in 2012. She is currently pursuing architectural licensure in Illinois and New York.
