BRW Architects welcomes Nora Schwaller in our San Francisco office!

Nora was born and raised in Accokeek, MD. Specifically, she lived in a quirky area called the Moyaone Reserve, which is just 20 miles south of D.C. After high school, she made her way to New Orleans where she attended Tulane University for their 5-year M.Arch program. After graduating in 2013, she spent the following summer on a cross-country bike trip benefitting affordable housing through Bike & Build. Afterwards, she accepted a job in California and moved out to San Francisco with her girlfriend and their dog, Bandit.
