We caught up with Kevin Haley to chat about his journey from Aberrant Architecture to his new venture, Kevin Haley Studio – and trust us, it’s an inspiring one.

Here are three things that really stuck with us:

👉 Kevin’s work is all about creating spaces that aren’t just visually striking but deeply connected to the people who use them.

👉 From setting up on-site studios to co-creating with local communities, Kevin’s approach is about being fully immersed in the places he’s shaping.

👉 Whether it’s turning construction waste into art, launching creative hubs, or rethinking public spaces, Kevin’s work blurs the lines between placemaking, education, and experimentation.
