Robyn Nelson is a fresh University of Arizona grad with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, on a mission to bring Indigenous wisdom back into the world of design. Passionate about how Indigenous peoples harmonized with Mother Earth using only what was given,
she’s dedicated to modernizing spaces that reflect those sustainable, life-affirming traditions. Robyn is a member of the Navajo Nation. She is Tl’aashchi (Red Bottom), born for Biih Bitoodnii (Deer Spring), Honaghaahnii (One Who Walks Around), and Ashiinii
(Salt People). Robyn’s joined TAWAW to bring back Indigenous lifeways into the fabric of contemporary architecture, creating spaces that resonate with the past lived experiences while embracing the future.
When Robyn’s not at work, you can find her fishing back at home, enjoying live-band music, or hunting down the best local new coffee spots!
