Nicole Roach

Nicole is from New Orleans, Louisiana, and the city’s rich architectural history has driven her interest in sustainable, equitable, and practical design. These passions first brought her to Utile in January 2022 for her first Northeastern co-op during which she served as an integral team member on 299 Broadway, a mixed-use residential development designed to transform a block of Somerville’s Winter Hill neighborhood.

In January 2023, she began her second co-op at Annum Architects, where she worked on projects for MIT’s Mechanical Engineering Department and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History.

In June 2025, Nicole returned to Utile full-time after graduating from Northeastern with her Masters of Architecture. Outside of work, Nicole loves staying active, especially by both instructing cycling classes at Equinox. You may also find her at the Boston Public Library checking out her latest read.
