Jordan Shanel

Jordan graduated with a Masters of Architecture from Parsons School of Design, where she found a passion for healthy materials and sustainable design. She is driven by the idea that good design can make the world a healthier, happier place - having grown up between Las Vegas and Singapore, she saw firsthand the various ways design can be used to tackle environmental challenges, and she carries this principle with her in her work today. Prior to joining ARCHITECTUREFIRM, she worked at SOM in New York, with a focus on Living Building Challenge projects and low-carbon materials. When not at work, Jordan loves exploring new cities, getting out into nature, and is currently learning how to dance Salsa.
