About

ABOUT DEVORE…

Kelly O’Gorman Devore is a collaborative and multifaceted designer and academic administrator. Trained in architecture, DeVore is incredibly systems-focused, thrives in a spreadsheet, and loves planning complex tasks, experiences, and events so that clients, students, or colleagues do not see the complexity underneath.

DeVore’s forward-thinking, big-picture, and collaborative approach to leadership has propelled her into progressively responsible positions across academia, built by her educational backgrounds in architecture and design thinking/design research. Both research and architecture help DeVore to see organizational efficiencies and solutions clearly, and those skills have given her the ability to lead discussions around difficult topics, find new solutions to old problems, and create organizational structures where (sometimes) they don't exist.
