Architect / Founder / CEO / Mom
Shell is a licensed architect, educator, multidisciplinary designer, and neurodivergent mom dedicated to creating healthy, nurturing environments for all.
Her passion for inclusive design is deeply personal. Raising a son on the autism spectrum gave Shell profound insight into how the built environment can support learning, regulation, and well-being. Through thoughtful, human-centered design, she aims to transform spaces into places that are both functional and inspiring.
Shell earned her B.A. in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley and her Master of Architecture from the University of Kentucky. Her academic career includes managing and teaching in the Syracuse University NYC Architecture Program and serving as a guest architectural critic at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute.
Since her son’s diagnosis, Shell has immersed herself in early childhood and special education, becoming a passionate advocate and innovator in neuroinclusive design.
