Jillian Orlandini Joins Philadelphia Metropolitan Area architectural firm, Architetra as Architectural Designer

Architetra p.c., a leading Philadelphia Metropolitan Area architectural firm specializing in residential and commercial design, is pleased to announce the addition of Jillian Orlandini as Architectural Designer for the firm.

Joseph M Lombardi, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, Co-Founder of Architetra, said, “We have been looking for the right fit to help support our continued growth.” Jillian quickly demonstrated her drive, creativity, architectural expertise, project management, and client-centered approach; those qualities that align with the firm. We are excited to bring her significant talents to Architetra in a full time capacity. She is already fully involved and flourishing with premier projects for our clients,” Lombardi said.

Jillian Orlandini said the firm was also a fit for what she was looking for to launch her career. “I see Architetra as a uniquely high growth opportunity where I will have the freedom to spearhead my own designs while also being directly mentored by the firm’s principals on diverse projects across residential and commercial projects at varying scales, helping me to become a well-rounded architect.”

Orlandini had previously interned with Architetra in 2022 and joined the firm full time in June.

She is a recent graduate of Penn State’s School of Architecture, having earned a Bachelor of Architecture and a minor in Architecture History. Orlandini completed her last semester, a four-month study abroad program in Rome, Italy through Penn State and the Pantheon Institute, which is focused on immersing the students in the culture and architecture of the Roman Empire.

Orlandini continues to pursue a path to Architect licensure which requires gaining and documenting experience in various aspects of architectural practice and then successful completion of the Architectural Registration Examination (ARE).
