Michi has an abiding passion for understanding cities and buildings, and the communities and people that inhabit them. Michi oversees the development of all of Killian Pacific’s projects and acquisitions. Michi is a member of the firm’s Executive Leadership Team and Investment Committee. She currently serves on Prosper Portland’s Board of Commissioners, the City of Portland’s Advance Portland Advisory Committee, the City of Vancouver’s City Center Redevelopment Authority, Oregon Smart Growth’s Policy Committee, and Urban Land Institute’s Portland NEXT Committee, and volunteered for ULI Northwest’s Everett Technical Assistance Panel.

Before moving to Portland, Michi spent eight years with Tishman Speyer in New York, Washington D.C., and Shanghai, and spent several years prior with architecture firms in New York and Los Angeles. Michi received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Yale University and a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

Outside of work, Michi can be found seeking ideas and inspiration at various events around Portland and Vancouver and undertaking craft projects with her husband. A former collegiate rower, she still enjoys being active with running, Pilates, and yoga. Born and raised in Seattle, Michi is thrilled to return to the Pacific Northwest and has planted her roots in Southeast Portland where she lives with her husband, Graham, and their cat, Sam.
