Christopher Karlson is a 2004 University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning graduate who is currently a senior associate and senior designer at Perkins&Will, one of the largest and most respected global design practices. There, he provides interdisciplinary services in architecture, interior design, brand environments, urban design, landscape architecture and more.
His journey in architecture started at a relatively young age when he participated in a series of construction drafting classes in high school, followed by attending UF’s summer design exploration program. The program introduced him to both the technical and design foundations of the architecture industry. This led to receiving a Bachelor of Design from DCP with a focus on Architecture and minor in Landscape Architecture. After working briefly in New York City, Karlson moved to Boston to attend Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design to receive a Master of Architecture professional degree.
