Director
Melissa leads the Northworks Nashville office, spearheading projects across Nashville and its neighboring regions. A licensed architect, she earned her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. Melissa’s journey with Northworks began in 2016 in our Chicago studio, where she immersed herself in diverse residential projects nationwide.
After a stint in our Jackson Hole studio, Melissa returned to her roots in Nashville, helping establish the Northworks Nashville office in the summer of 2023. Prior to joining Northworks, Melissa delved into restaurant and residential architecture in her inaugural year post-graduation in 2015. Since then, she has been an integral part of the Northworks team, contributing her expertise to multifamily and single-family projects across the country and most recently, the Nashville area.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Melissa treasures moments with her husband and young children. An avid explorer, she finds joy in hiking and embarking on culinary adventures, where she delves into the intricate tapestry of travel, food, and architecture.
I believe that a successful project stems from a thorough examination of the site and its context, coupled with meticulous information gathering to fully comprehend the client's vision for their endeavor.
