JP People - Nadia Melim, Director of Architecture. Born and raised in MA, Nadia is a first-generation American with Portuguese roots. Portuguese was her first language and she maintains strong ties to her family's heritage. After earning a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Roger Williams University, Nadia moved to Seattle for work before returning to the Bay State.
Nadia joined JP in 2018 as a Project Architect, drawn to the firm because of its welcoming environment and workplace culture. “I felt like this was somewhere I could stay for a while and make a difference”. Her talent and drive propelled her to Associate in 2020 and Director of Architecture in 2023. Nadia is working to set a strategic path for the future of architecture within JP and pursuing projects that align with this vision. She’s also standardizing and streamlining architectural workflows to enhance firm efficiency.
Affordable housing is a passion for her. She aims to work with cities and towns to convert existing spaces into ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), envisioning a dedicated website to promote this initiative. “It would be a great way to leverage JP’s extensive experience in program management to expand beyond noise-related projects into broader architectural and management services”.
Nadia believes the most important architecture is where people live, as homes hold deep emotional significance. Empathetic to today’s housing struggles people face today, she is committed to creating solutions that ensure everyone has access to adequate living conditions. Nadia also enjoys commercial projects, particularly adaptive reuse, finding joy in transforming defunct spaces into something new and useful. “I love taking a space that doesn’t work now and solving the puzzle of how you can make it work for something else”.
Her love for architecture extends into leisure activities. Building houses with LEGO has been a lifelong hobby. Outside of work, you’ll find Nadia on a mountain bike trail. She enjoys downhill mountain biking and often plans camping trips around gravity mountain bike parks or notable buildings.

JP People Spotlight: Luigi Campanale!

Born in Milan Italy, Luigi’s passion for design began at an early age. Inspired by Renaissance Architecture, he was drawn to architects like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci who found harmony between human proportions and buildings. “They were creative and assumed many roles. From project manager and designer to construction manager and strategist. I’ve always liked that about them.” Luigi credits an art professor in high school for recognizing his talent early on and pushing him to pursue architecture as a career. He graduated with a Civil Architecture Degree, which is the equivalent of a Master of Science in the United States. Luigi has spent the last 20+ years working as an architect on residential, historic restoration, and luxury hotel projects. He considers himself lucky, “A lot of people start a job and soon realize they don’t like it, but I love being an architect.” Luigi views architecture as a way to make a positive difference. “The most satisfaction I can get is seeing my plan work well, creating a development that constructively affects people”. It’s this motivation to help others that drew him to JP and the firm’s mission of improving quality of life. Luigi joined JP in 2023, “There are so many reasons why I wanted to work for JP, including their emphasis on restoration and revitalization. It starts with a good company and the ability to learn how the market works.” Luigi says the noise mitigation industry also intrigues him, offering a chance to learn and grow. As a Senior Project Designer for JP, Luigi supports the firm’s ongoing projects and plays a strategic role in helping to bring on new business. Luigi previously worked for an Italian design company. Tasked with expanding its reach to Asia, Luigi opened up a branch office in Saigon, Vietnam. Serving as the branch CEO, he grew the Saigon office from 0 to 25 employees in a few short years. Luigi works in JP’s Boston office and loves the city. Family is his focus. He also enjoys political science and studying military history. If he wasn’t an architect, he says he’d most likely do something related to the military in some sort of advisory position.
