KCBA is thrilled to announce that Justin Creese has attained licensure as a registered architect in Pennsylvania.

Justin graduated from Pratt Institute with a BA in Architecture in 2019 and began his career with varied professional experiences as part of institutional, commercial, and residential projects. He joined KCBA in 2024 and immediately began making meaningful contributions to both our slate of architectural projects as well as office operations and culture.

To date at KCBA his focus has been on the K-12 sector where he’s served as a key team member for the renovation/expansion of Central Bucks High School West, expansion of Cedarbrook Middle School at Cheltenham School District, facility upgrade projects at Penn Wood Middle School and Bell Avenue Elementary School for William Penn School District, and the major reconstruction of Hempfield High School. In addition to lending his expansive knowledge of the latest tools and software for building design and documentation, Justin helped spearhead and participated in an ARE study group among the firm’s emerging design professionals.

Michael Kelly, AIA, ALEP, LEED AP, KCBA Principal, said, “Justin has been a tremendous addition to the KCBA team and we’ve benefited greatly from his knowledge, commitment, and positive outlook. We congratulate him on this awesome achievement.”
