Architectural Designer

Sheila joined Lupo Group in late 2024 to support projects from vision and brainstorming to renderings and technical drawings. In her short tenure on the team, she’s explored conceptual designs for 25,000 square feet of space, had direct impact on 10 Lupo projects, amounting to roughly 10,000 square feet of design that will be fully realized, operational space soon. As a long-time Atlanta resident with 20 years of experience in placemaking, Sheila knows the local ecosystem and understands the experiences that drive success in this town.

Much of Sheila’s most recent experience leveraged her design skills in an artistic setting, alongside collaborators in the film industry. She specialized in science fiction and fantasy set design, and had a reputation for creating exceptional renderings for set previsualization – a critical part of the production process. Prior to her years spent designing sets for dozens of productions, Sheila was an architectural designer with Atlanta-based Pimsler-Hoss Architects, focused on adaptive reuse, multifamily housing and interiors.

Sheila received her Master’s Degree in Architecture from Georgia Institute of Technology, and an undergraduate fine arts degree from Atlanta College of Art. When not designing, she can be found at home in Atlanta and likely painting, cooking, paddleboarding, dancing, or hiking with her dog, Vinnie.
