Chelsea's background in design-build and fabrication means that she is always thinking about execution—How to successfully translate a design idea? How will it be beautifully detailed and constructed? She thrives on constraints as a way to formulate her design approach, and values the multidisciplinary nature of our workplace as a way to broaden our design thinking. As an architect with experience on a wide range of project typologies, Chelsea brings her passion and expertise to all phases from design through construction.
A lifelong tinkerer, Chelsea sees design as an opportunity to combine her love of art and creativity with her natural problem-solving and logistical skills. She completed architecture undergraduate studies at Lehigh University and holds a Master of Architecture from Parsons School of Design.
Chelsea has technical experience working in fabrication, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse, and is passionate about sustainability. She is particularly interested in the challenging intersection between historic preservation and sustainable design. Chelsea believes that, as gatekeepers in the realm of environmentally responsible building, we should be upholding the highest standards for energy efficiency and innovation, even under the most stringent constraints.
