Lori has been involved in the industry since 2013, and brings enthusiasm for complex design and addressing the most minute details to make projects successful. 

 

After earning her Bachelor of Architecture with Minors in Architectural History and Kinesiology from The Pennsylvania State University, she elected to spend two more years in academia earning her Master of Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.  Her research focused on people-centric solutions to improve safety and infrastructure within informal settlements, as well as how to manage and mitigate gentrification while continuing to encourage revitalization (her thesis arguing that there is an important difference between gentrification and revitalization, although they are often conflated).  While working at the urban scale may not seem like the obvious trajectory for someone interested in the minutia of science and technology, the core persuasion remains the same: helping people.  Both fields deal in the intricacies of complex systems that impact people on an individual basis, and working daily to better understand these systems to create more effective spaces for scientists to thrive and ultimately help other people is highly rewarding.

​

Lori's experience covers a broad range of typologies, including civic, residential, office interiors, healthcare, and science and technology (S&T).  Her main specialty is in S&T, having experience across many facility and lab types; she is most excited when presented with an opportunity to work on pharmaceutical spaces.
