Welcome
I'm Joyce Hanlon, an interdisciplinary designer, architect, and project manager based in Brooklyn.




I'm a Project Designer at Snøhetta, where I've worked for the last seven years.
From programming to documentation to final product, my work touches every stage of the design process.
I make complex systems cohesive and elegant.
I lead design teams and coordinate work across disciplines to ensure the final product is effective, well detailed, and on schedule.

“Joyce translated an abstract vision into clear project goals and a functional and beautiful reality. Her strategic thinking ensured that the final result not only met but exceeded my expectations.”

“Joyce has a unique ability to work within the parameters of a project while pushing the limits in pursuit of a better, unexpected result.”

“Joyce was an incredible partner on our project. She not only helped us figure out the vision and created a stunning design, but she also coordinated work with the construction manager and engineers to make things super simple on our end.”
