Molly Thomas

A writer, editor, and strategist, Molly helps craft WRNS Studio’s voice to advance the culture, practice and business of the firm. Her love of story compels a deep inquiry into the place, mission, context, history, and human aspiration of each unique project. Stewarding WRNS Studio into the nationally recognized design firm it is today, Molly has played a critical role in landing the studio’s most transformative projects, helping grow new markets and regions. She connects architecture with broader social and environmental issues by investigating and writing about the core questions of our time, including equity, education, and the climate crisis. Recently, Molly co-wrote Workplace + Public Realm, a collaboration between WRNS Studio, Stanford University, and Northeastern University. With a background in publishing, Molly is a former staff writer at Kitchen Sink Magazine and a volunteer reader at Zoetrope: All-Story. She is a member of SPUR and SCUP, and formerly served on the Marketing and Communications Committee at the Urban Land Institute.
