Kellen began working with Design West Engineering in 2015 as a fire protection designer. His experience includes NFPA 13 and 24 sprinkler systems, various automatic wet system, hydraulic calcs, system specifications, fire main selection, fire pumps, and coordination with utility companies. He has extensive BIM experience, regularly designing new systems in Revit and coordinating with other system designs in NavisWorks. Kellen has prior design experience with mechanical and plumbing systems that gives him unique understanding of how to better coordinate when fitting these various system types into a single tight space. His project experience includes DSA projects, public works, OSHPD, and private markets. Beyond his technical design skills, Kellen is a thorough and responsive communicator, always staying proactive in his coordination with other designers and disciplines. Kellen has a passion for bringing his creativity and design ideas to brand new systems and then watching them come to life from the ground up.
Design West Engineering supported California Baptist University's Bourns College of Engineering expansion, enhancing the LEED Gold facility with MEP design, fire systems, and exposed MEP systems for student learning. Along with central plant expansion.
