Biography

Nagele graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Penn., in 1994. She completed her Master of Architecture degree from the University of Maryland in 1996, and was awarded the Dean's Thesis Prize. She started her career with Ayers/Saint/Gross Architects in Pennsylvania before moving to Seattle. Nagele spent time at LMN Architects and owned her own business [2] prior to joining HEWITT in 2011. She began teaching a graduate design studio at the University of Washington in 2016 and became an assistant affiliate professor in 2018. Nagele was named a HEWITT principal and the director of design – architecture in 2018, and senior principal in 2022.

Nagele's Emerald Tower, one of the tallest residential buildings on the west coast designed by a woman, [3] was called “city’s most highly-anticipated luxury condominium” by Dwell magazine. [4] Her “striking” 32-story Skyglass topped off in 2023. Projects slated to break ground in 2024 include: 29-story 1107, which the design review board said has “icon potential” and Mama Tower, which will reach 484 feet, [5] Nagele’s 27-story OneU , currently in design, features two distinctive cut-out social greenway terraces.

Many of Nagele's projects feature complex urban conditions, where she “relishes creating spaces for unplanned connections, allowing people and ideas to cross paths.” [6] Nagele is a frequent industry speaker, panelist and committee member.. In 2021, she was recognized by Seattle Met as one of Seattle’s most influential people* , and in 2022, Nagele delivered the MAPP commencement address at the University of Maryland.
