About Me
Architectural Designer

Hi everyone! I'm Joe Mihanovic, and I'm a recent B. Arch graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, currently working as an architectural designer in Palo Alto, CA. I truly love architecture and I believe in its transformative potential. Over the past six years - whether in school or out - I have focused all my efforts on creating beautiful, functional, and socially-responsible projects.
When I'm not at work or at my desk, I enjoy being active and out in nature. I love to exercise, go to the beach, hike, and go to music festivals with friends.
Please visit the "Contact" section for any professional inquiries or to connect with me on social media. Enjoy!
