Nakia Gehl

Senior Project Manager

Bachelor of Design in Architecture from the University of Minnesota

Dual Minors in Sustainable Studies and Design

Architecture was always the plan for Nakia. Growing up around construction and design, she discovered drafting in high school, confirming what she already suspected—architecture was where her interests, talents, and purpose aligned.

What Nakia enjoys most about architecture is the way a single project brings together design, construction, and operations to shape how people work, move through, and experience everyday spaces. She enjoys collaborating with clients, consultants, and project teams to solve challenges and bring ideas to life. One of her favorite parts of the profession is watching a project evolve from an idea on paper into a place people experience every day.

Outside of work, Nakia enjoys spending time with her husband and kids and making the most of everyday life together. She also enjoys camping, hunting, skiing, and raising the next generation of Gopher fans.
