Christopher Leitch

Design Consultant — Portland

Chris brings 28 years of architectural experience to Neil Kelly, with a background spanning residential and commercial design. Before joining Neil Kelly, he worked for nationally recognized architecture firms including Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in Chicago. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the California College of Arts and Crafts.

He’s drawn to large-scale, transformative remodeling projects and enjoys the challenge of finding thoughtful design solutions that respect the character of each home. His broad architectural background allows him to work across a wide range of architectural styles, creating spaces that feel authentic to their history while meeting the needs of modern living.

For Chris, good design starts with the relationship. He invests the time to understand each client, knowing that the clearer that understanding, the more successful the finished home.

Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time at the coast, collecting jazz records, and long walks through Portland’s neighborhoods and parks.
