Noa Leslie

designer


Noa, originally from Columbus, Ohio, relocated to Washington, DC after falling in love with architrave during a summer internship while studying at the University of Cincinnati in 2022. A strong believer for UC's Co-op program, she now serves as an internship coordinator, designer, and drafter at architrave. Noa’s diverse professional experiences range from grounds work at a botanical garden to teaching at an elementary school, but her deep passion for preservation ignited in 2017 while working on the Historic Veterans Cemetery Lodges. She believes that preserving architecture is key to conserving culture and minimizing the environmental impact of new construction. Outside of work, Noa enjoys playing board games and exploring DC's live music scene.
