Julie Snow founded Julie Snow Architects in 1995. Today, what has become Snow Kreilich Architects, is a nationally recognized and award winning architectural studio based practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In addition to touching every project at her firm, Julie has taught architecture at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard, the University of Southern California, and the University of Minnesota College of Design, where she received the Ralph Rapson Award for Distinguished Teaching.

Julie’s Projects range from chic lofts and modern offices to elegant museums and state-of-the-art stadiums.
