A born tinkerer with a passion for how things come together, Sophia leads Kalesnikoff’s growing presence across the United States mass timber market. Based in Los Angeles, she focuses on early design collaboration, preconstruction strategy, relationship-building, and connecting design intent with efficient manufacturing and delivery for teams pursuing thoughtful, buildable mass timber solutions.

Sophia holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and brings experience spanning architecture, manufacturing, and construction, including contributing to the delivery of Los Angeles’ first multifamily mass timber project. Outside of work, she gravitates toward hands-on building projects, campervan conversions, and sketching mass timber housing concepts — often viewing constraints as part of the creative opportunity.
