Keeper of the Books/Behind the Scenes
Aimee is the steady hand behind the numbers at Kemp, providing essential bookkeeping and financial support across both the company and its projects. With a background that spans design, project management, and small business ownership, she brings a rare, full-spectrum understanding of how projects come together—from concept to completion.
She began her career in construction as an Interior Designer in multi-family residential, before moving into commercial project management, where she was responsible for developing and overseeing large-scale budgets.
