Friday Five with Melissa Hanley of Blitz
The busy Melissa Hanley, co-founder, principal, and CEO of Blitz, shares a few of her favorite things, from pens to a vintage car.
Melissa Hanley, AIA, IIDA, LEED AP, is co-founder, principal, and CEO of Blitz, a California architecture and interiors studio paving the way for high-performance, human-centered commercial spaces. She heads up the design teams, manages operations, brand strategy, and project delivery, all while acting as the managing principal of their San Francisco office. Hanley brings her workplace expertise to innovative companies, like Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Dropbox, Spotify, UC Berkeley, Soundcloud, Fitbit, and many more, making sure each project meets the needs of the clients while also being a beautiful place to work in every day. She grew up as the child of a contractor and fine woodworker, which left a lasting imprint on her design style where exploration and experimentation often lead to creative design solutions. The California native earned a Bachelor of Arts in architecture with a minor in city and regional planning from the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to work for a mid-sized firm. When she and Seth Hanley, AIA, were laid off during the recession, they joined forces to launch Blitz in 2009 and got married along the way. The growing practice expanded to Los Angeles in recent times and both studios stay busy working on projects throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
