Trivers is pleased to welcome back Hallie Nolan, LEED Green Associate, AICP Candidate as a planner. Nolan began her career at Trivers in 2019 as an architectural designer and urban designer. She joined Lamar Johnson Collaborative in 2022, where she served as an associate and urban designer contributing to neighborhood, corridor and citywide planning initiatives.
“We’re thrilled Hallie has returned to Trivers,” said Trivers Principal Joe Brinkmann, AIA. “Her depth of experience across industries, combined with her collaborative mindset and steady leadership, strengthens our ability to deliver urban design and planning strategies that are both visionary and actionable. Hallie brings a proven track record of turning thoughtful ideas into measurable outcomes, which will create meaningful value for our clients across industries.”
In her new role, Nolan will lead Trivers’ burgeoning Urban Design and Planning practice, defining and advancing its vision and goals while building its regional and national visibility. Nolan will conduct market research and identify opportunities, cultivate client relationships, and guide interdisciplinary teams through large-scale, transformational projects from concept through construction.
“I’m excited to elevate Trivers’ Urban Design and Planning practice to better anticipate and address the evolving needs of our clients and communities,” Nolan said. “Our integrated team, spanning architecture, interiors, urban design and planning, brings a holistic perspective that helps clients move from ideas to impact.”
Throughout her urban design and planning career, Nolan has led complicated projects throughout the country that bring together public agencies, private partners and community stakeholders. Recently, she contributed to a year-long, community-driven planning effort for The Ville, Greater Ville and Kingsway East neighborhoods in St. Louis. Developed with the City of St. Louis and a multidisciplinary team, the plan delivers equity-focused strategies for housing, economic development, mobility and urban design while empowering residents through robust engagement and local leadership.
“It was incredibly rewarding to partner with community members to shape a shared vision for how they want their neighborhoods to evolve over the next 10 to 20 years,” Nolan said. “Our team translated that vision into a clear, actionable plan designed to support long-term vibrancy and quality of life.”
In addition to her professional work, Nolan is actively involved in civic and industry organizations. She holds both local and national roles for Urban Land Institute (ULI), serving as chair of mission advancement for ULI St. Louis and chair of the ULI Americas Young Leaders Group Steering Committee. She is also a member of the American Planning Association (APA) Missouri Chapter and APA St. Louis Metro Section.
Nolan earned master’s degrees in architecture and urban design from Washington University in St. Louis in 2018 and her bachelor’s degree in art history from Bard College in 2015.
