Welcome back, Nolan Payne!

Nolan joins us from Clemson University, where he is a graduate student in the Architecture + Community Build certificate program. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University.

With a strong interest in the connection between architecture, community, and wellbeing, Nolan is passionate about creating spaces that support both physical and emotional experience. His curiosity about the relationship between the built environment and human behavior brings a thoughtful lens to the work he is doing with our team this summer.

We’re excited to have Nolan growing with Wellogy and contributing to design that supports people, place, and positive impact.

Some places tell the story of a town better than any landmark ever could.

In Canal Wi******er, the new Columbus Metropolitan Library feels like one of those places. Not just because of the books, the light, or the beautifully designed spaces, but because of the people who fill it. Grandparents and young children. Teens finding a place to belong. Families in motion. Neighbors in conversation. Quiet readers at rest.

Our latest blog explores how this library has already become more than a destination. It has become part of the daily life of the community in Canal Wi******er as a true third place: a setting where different generations, needs, and rhythms of life can coexist with ease. Through a series of observed moments, the story explores how design supports belonging, from story time and family connection to teen refuge, quiet study, and staff hospitality.

For growing communities, spaces like this matter. They help people feel connected to where they live and to one another. Read the blog here: https://www.wellogydesign.com/the-stories-inside-the-library/

Soni Ranjan is our Utah Market Lead and Interior Designer. She brings a thoughtful, people-centered perspective to every project, blending experience in both interior design and product design with a strong understanding of building systems, code, accessibility, and the details that shape how spaces truly work. Her approach is flexible, analytical, and grounded in the belief that design should anticipate the unknown while creating environments that help people feel supported, included, and well. We’re so grateful for the curiosity, empathy, and creativity she brings to the work and to the team. Thanks Soni!
