Studio Kiro Welcomes New Partners

We are pleased to announce Francie Abell, John Mouton, and Ryan Green have become partners at Studio Kiro. They have been integral to building Studio Kiro’s work culture from the beginning, and each person brings a unique personality, talent, and skill set to every project. We are grateful to build a happy work environment with well-rounded people who care for each other, their families, their friends, and their communities.

“Our goal is to have a healthy balance between work and life and to have fun every day.”

Francie Abell,

Director of Interior Design

Francie’s approach to design is both artistic and technical, focusing on enhancing personal experience and well-being for users. She is also a professional oil painter and enjoys playing sports, venturing with her dog, and soaking up New Orleans’ culture. 

John Mouton,

Studio Director

A skilled problem solver, John approaches architecture and design with a holistic mindset and open communication. Outside of the office, John sharpens his mind (and body) through rock climbing and traveling, finding inspiration in the beautiful landscapes he visits.

Ryan Green

Project Manager

Inspired by the beauty of historic buildings, Ryan loves the process of problem solving that comes when working on adapting existing structures to contemporary uses. He is an avid sketcher who also enjoys exploring historic sites, hiking, and tending to his balcony garden.

We appreciate our clients, mentors, and collaborators in all fields (architecture, interior design, urban design, music & art, community-based planning, and development) for providing us with opportunities to learn and grow. Studio Kiro’s journey started 6 years ago and we're excited to see what our future holds as we welcome our new partners Francie, John, and Ryan!
