Strengthen and Grow Your Network In Shive-Hattery’s Growing Kansas City Studio.

Some of our best and brightest — with work experience in our Cedar Rapids and Chicago studios — are now heading up our Kansas City location.

Because this office is just getting its start, we get to chart our own path and build something special from the ground up. Our team is putting its entrepreneurial mindset to work to build a multidisciplinary firm focused on relationships and credibility. Every hire we make helps shape the culture of our Kansas City studio.

Top 5 Reasons we love our kansas city studio

• Because we’re growing, we get to meet so many new people! Our Kansas City coworking space hosts lots of onsite networking events, such as 1 Million Cups.
• We’re not about chasing awards or prestige. We’re about hiring and serving good people, doing good in the community, and growing together.
• We work in an up-and-coming area that’s experiencing major transformation. We’re close to the Kansas City International Airport’s new terminal, adjacent to a new streetcar route, and the World Cup will be played here in 2026!
• Because we’re part of the Plaza Westport neighborhood, there are great restaurants, museums, and Kansas City’s premier retail center nearby.
• Our space is surrounded by 80 acres of parkland and trails. If you need a change of scenery to inspire some ideas, all you have to do is step outside.
