Lizzy Nadai is a Design Team Member in the Studio’s Chicago office and is currently part of the team working on the Kresge College renewal project at the University of California Santa Cruz. A graduate of Yale University, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, a Master of Architecture, and a Master of Business Administration. Interested in cultural and civic projects, Lizzy also appreciates the Studio’s wide variety of project and client types. She was drawn to the Studio for its innovative use of materials at different scales and its mission to use design as a medium to create social interactions.

Raised on a farm in Essex, Massachusetts, in a colonial house built in 1690, Lizzy is passionate about the conservation of historic buildings and landscapes. She loves to hike, ski, and swim—anything outdoors!—and her favorite natural environments include Mount Tamalpais State Park and Stinson Beach.
