These Are the Women Who Changed Modern Architecture

Julie Snow was born in Minnesota in 1948 and realized her passion for architecture while attending the University of Colorado. In 1989, she founded James Snow Architects with Vincent James, and, in 1995, opened her own firm, Julie Snow Architects. "I would pursue projects that had some visionary leader at the helm," she says. "If you had a vision, if you had an idea of what architecture needed to do, then I would make it happen." In 2014, Snow named firm-veteran Matthew Kreilich as coprincipal, and the firm became Snow Kreilich Architects. Today, about half of Snow Kreilich’s employees are women or minorities.
