Senior Project Architect-NYC

Who We Are:

Our culture
Moody Nolan is a diverse workplace, founded on the principles of equity and inclusion. We believe the best designs come from divergent perspectives working together toward a common goal. We pursue design excellence and use architecture as a catalyst to uplift and empower communities.

With 12 offices nationwide, we champion one another in achieving career aspirations while balancing life's demands. We’re always looking for new talent to join us in creating the future of design.

What we do
We practice responsive architecture and responsible citizenship— designing solutions unique to our clients, community, and the environment. We listen intently and analyze creatively to design spaces that reflect the culture of our clients and the communities they serve. As responsible citizens, we design spaces that prioritize human health and protect the Earth’s ecosystems.

We believe in leading by example— it's why our firm is diverse by design. As the largest African American-owned firm, equity and inclusion shape our firm culture and guide our design decisions. We challenge the status quo to create equitable design solutions that address systemic racism and inspire positive social change.
