KEO Studioworks is a collaborative design studio with a human-centered approach that emphasizes the integration of people and place. Our design philosophy derives solutions from the analysis of program, context, sustainability, and well-being.

​

Founded in 2020 and led by Jim Keo, a Colorado resident since 2004, the studio draws from his extensive 30 year experience across public and private sectors. Before founding KEO Studioworks, Jim held leadership roles as Design Leader, Design Principal, and Design Director in notable firms in St. Louis, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and Aspen.

​

With expertise in design and project management, our team ensures rigorous attention to schedule and budget across all project phases. Our diverse experience spans commercial, public, and private sectors, and includes projects of both large and small scales. This breadth of knowledge enriches our ability to deliver thoughtful, high-quality solutions for our clients.

​

At the heart of our practice is a collaborative approach, where we guide the synthesis of vision, program, opportunity, and value. We advise clients on how to achieve their objectives efficiently while maximizing impact. In the early stages of planning, we focus on feasibility, land use, and pragmatic considerations to establish clear, achievable goals that offer substantial value.

​

At KEO Studioworks, we constantly challenge the boundaries of design while respecting the realities of budget and context. Our goal is to create spaces and environments that elevate human experience, transforming built environments into places that inspire and enrich.
