BHDP Architecture Names Two New Partners

Christopher Collett and Jeffery Kring have been promoted to Partners at BHDP Architecture. 

Chris began his career at BHDP over 20 years ago as an Intern Architect on the Workplace team. Along the way, he has taken several leaps of faith, touched every market, and recently emerged as a Client Leader on the Workplace team. His responsibilities include leading BHDP’s relationship with Fifth Third Bank, the firm’s largest client, over the past five years. 

Jeff first started at BHDP as a project architect more than 20 years ago, then spent several years at the State of Ohio’s Facilities Construction Commission, and returned 5 years ago as Director of Architecture. Jeff has balanced competing priorities for people, process, and product quality. As the pioneer of BHDP peer groups and a natural teacher and coach, he puts in extraordinary effort and time. He is relentless about results – not because that’s the expectation, but because he genuinely cares about the success of our clients, our people, and the reputation of the firm. 

“When it comes to embodying our Core Values, Chris and Jeff are two prime examples,” said Drew Suszko, CEO. “Chris is a critical business leader for the firm who has consistently demonstrated his belief in the power of our design process to inspire people and impact results. Jeff’s commitment to growth is unwavering. In his expanded role, we are excited to see Jeff extend his influence and impact the business in new and necessary ways.”

In 2025, BHDP was ranked the eighth-largest architectural firm in Central Ohio and ranked #1 in the Cincinnati area.
