Associate

A talented sketcher and model-maker, Mel uses her craft to create spaces that give people room to explore their identities and the history of the land they inhabit. Whether she’s working on a multifamily residence, academic library, innovation hub, or helping National Organization of Minority Architects (Pittsburgh) grow a pipeline of minority architects, Mel strives to broaden the perspectives shaping our built environment. Attuned to the psychological and physical qualities of architecture, Mel understands architecture as an act of storytelling that engages people, place, and past as it anticipates the future.
