Laurel Podlich
Architectural Design Professional
Laurel Podlich serves as Forte’s newest addition. She is originally from Orondo, Washington and grew up playing and working in her family’s apple orchard. She chose to venture out of Washington for college, and with the available outdoor recreation and the architecture programs, she decided that Montana State University was the best place for her. In 2010, she graduated with her BA in Environmental Design and a minor in English Literature. After a short break from school, she returned to complete the graduate program and earned her Masters of Architecture in December of 2016. After nearly 10 years in Montana, she returned back to Washington and looks forward to re-exploring the area and spending time with her family. She enjoys hiking, snowboarding, and many other recreational activities.
