Heba Maleki

Senior Architect | Perkins & Will

With over 15 years of professional experience, my career spans art, interior design, and architecture. In architecture, my work has included art galleries, commercial buildings, single-family residences, and multi-unit residential projects. Before transitioning to architecture, I worked as an interior designer specializing in bespoke restaurants, high-end homes, and boutique retail, and contributed to a number of public art installations, pavilions, and furniture pieces.

I believe architecture and interior design should be conceived in parallel, not sequentially. This philosophy has guided my choice of practices, including Ste Marie, Patkau Architects, Leckie Studio, and most recently Perkins&Will, where I worked across scales and program types, from commercial interiors to a 1.4 million sf future-facing office and retail development.

I am currently on sabbatical. I have a longstanding passion for art and design, and enjoy spending time on photography, painting, and in nature with my well-dressed Italian Greyhound. My academic background in business/marketing and industrial design, paired with my architectural experience, continues to shape my professional approach. I'm excited to see where that intersection takes me next.
