Lori’s architectural journey began with childhood sketches of “ideal” playgrounds and baseball parks. A pivotal mechanical drawing class in high school redirected her focus from landscape architecture to buildings, leading to her degree from Ball State University’s College of Architecture and Planning.

Today, she specializes in institutional, correctional, educational, and healthcare facilities, bringing a collaborative and systematic approach to each project. “I try to imagine how the building functions for each occupant, from the CEO to the public to the cleaning staff. A successful building design enhances everyone’s day.” Her problem-solving abilities shine through Revit coordination, where she harmonizes technical requirements with human-centered design.

A self-described “mischievous” spirit, Lori brings playful creativity to architectural challenges.
