Howdy! My name is Mila Baler, and I am a multifaceted designer based in Washington, DC.

I earned my Bachelor of Architecture degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and have over 7 years of experience in the industry. I thrive on new challenges and have worked across a range of sectors, including Commercial Office Interiors, Higher Education, Science & Tech, and Hospitality. My experience spans all phases of an architectural project, from Schematic Design to Construction Administration. Additionally, I am a WELL Accredited Professional through the International WELL Building Institute.
