ABOUT & SERVICES

Ryan Eidick, MCP

Director

Ryan founded Eins in 2019 following over 10 years working as a Planner in both public and private sectors of the land development industry. His interests lie in complex problem solving, which is what initially drew him to Planning after a degree in Landscape Architecture. 

Ryan is a Faculty Lecturer in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Alberta, and is an honorary Board Member with the Old Strathcona Business Association, focused on supporting and advocating for small businesses in the Old Strathcona area. 
Ryan plays sports year-round, including golf, snowboarding and basketball.

Kaitlyn Vandenbilche, MPlan

Junior Planner

Kaitlyn joined Eins in 2025 after spending the first portion of her career as a Planner in the Public Sector with the City of Medicine Hat.
After having studied Architecture while living in Toronto, she found a passion for Planning, and now brings that strong background in design to the team. She’s also been a supporter of downtown revitalization, having started a collective focused on marketing unique and affordable businesses in downtown Calgary to the broader public.

Kaitlyn loves being outside, including hiking, biking and exploring cities, but is also an avid crafter, baker and reader in her free time.
