Gisella Nicho
| AIAGrowing up in Lima, Peru and immigrating to the US as a teenager has shaped the way Gisella views culture and its influence on our built environment.
Her studies have taken her to explore design in various countries in Europe and to understand how the culture and socioeconomic environment has informed design and architecture. She enjoys taking part in projects with a social and environmental sensibility and believes in the importance design has on the daily lives and overall well-being of individuals and community. Throughout her experience as an architect, she has worked on small and large-scale projects in hospitality, commercial, and education sectors.
During her time outside of work, she enjoys taking long leisurely walks with her dog and enjoys international travel.
