Hayley Nelke, LFA, SEED AP
Designer
Hayley brings a strong foundation in Public Interest Design and Design Build, shaped through her architectural studies and a certificate from the Center for Public Interest Design. Her experience spans wildfire recovery efforts in eastern Montana, hands-on material reuse builds in Oregon, and a growing interest in the Living Future Institute’s Materials Petal.
She has worked across a wide range of scales—from tenant improvements to urban planning—and brings skill in facilitating community engagement throughout the design process. This versatility allows her to adapt seamlessly to the diverse project types at Place Collaborative.
A natural collaborator, Hayley combines an outgoing presence with the ability to clearly visualize and communicate ideas. She helps bridge perspectives, ensuring both clients and teams feel heard and aligned.
