About Loren:
Loren designs at the intersection of architecture, infrastructure, and urbanism. She is particularly interested in patterns of mobility and their impact on urban form. Since joining Utile as an urban designer in 2021, she has leveraged her design sensibilities for projects at multiple scales: managing the zoning redesign for Newton’s Village Centers, leading a graphic toolkit for the MBTA that proposes strategies for bus priority implementation, and creating architectural test-fits for sites with diverse urban conditions.
Prior to joining Utile, Loren worked at Safdie Architects for three years, where she contributed to the design and coordination of projects ranging from a large urban development in Singapore, to mixed-use 50-story towers in Israel, as well as an expansion to an art museum campus in Arkansas. She has previously worked at Payette, where she contributed to various life science projects. Loren holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University, and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design with distinction from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Originally from Miami, she eschews driving in favor of exploring Boston on foot, with the occasional scenic bike ride.
