About Courtney:
Courtney joined Utile as an Architectural and Urban Designer in 2024. She holds a Master of Architecture from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and a Bachelor of Architectural Studies from the McEwen School of Architecture located in Sudbury, Ontario; Canada’s newest architecture school. Born in Nevada and raised in Northern Ontario, she has worked at firms in Toronto and Vancouver, specializing in both single family and multi-unit residential housing. She was awarded the Dalhousie University School of Architecture Thesis Prize for her graduate thesis focusing on decapitalizing San Francisco’s Waterfront through the collective memory of community resistance, in response to the exploitation the Waterfront has faced as a result of detrimental urban development. Her excitement towards design stems from exploring projects that have exciting cultural contexts, compelling community engagement techniques, and material exploration strategies that are unique, yet significant to each project. She is constantly excited by all things history, crafting and color, and loves to consolidate these notions into design and graphic representation.
Outside of the office, Courtney enjoys exploring new corners of Boston, reviewing books and movies, knitting herself another sweater or trying out a new creative hobby, and listening to Taylor Swift in every spare moment.
