Hanna Gordijenko, AIA

A graduate of James Madison University with a BFA in Architectural Design, Hanna brings a keen eye for detail to the Kimmel Studio team. After honing her skills at Blue Leopard Interiors, she joined the firm in 2022 to pursue her passion for custom residential architecture.

"To me, a home is more than a building—it’s the most important space you’ll ever inhabit. It’s where life happens."

Hanna’s appreciation for thoughtful craftsmanship is reflected in her favorite work, Carlo Scarpa’s Querini Stampalia. She draws constant inspiration from its subtle, poetic transitions—particularly the way the architecture meets the water.

When she isn't at her drafting desk, Hanna stays active within the studio culture by leading the firm's book club. Her creative energy extends into her personal life through photography, Pilates, and weekend thrifting. You can also find her running along the local marina or relaxing at home in the company of her cats.
