Courtney Arabea

Architect Courtney Arabea (she/her) is a Senior Designer in the Studio’s Chicago office. Inspired by how architecture can construct unique relationships between people and the world around them, Courtney brings this perspective to civic works across the Midwest. Drawn to the Studio for our commitment to equity, community engagement, and sustainability, Courtney hopes to use design as a means to advocate for communities.

Courtney holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech. Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, Courtney now calls Chicago home. In her time outside the studio, you can find Courtney biking, watching basketball, or caring for her plants.
