Vice President & Founding Partner
Natalie’s love of architecture began at the age of 7, after stealing her big brother’s book about Frank Lloyd Wright. As a third generation Coloradoan and the great-granddaughter of a homesteader, Natalie was eager to return to work in her home state. A licensed architect in Colorado and Wyoming, Natalie has more than 13 years of experience working with many building types. She received her Bachelor of Architecture from the NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego and her Masters of Arts in Historic Preservation Planning from Cornell University.
