April Johnson, RA
Principal

Being flexible allows April to jump in and help whenever there is a need, a valuable trait given the size and diversity of NBA projects. She’s a stickler for following through, ensuring questions and problems get answers and solutions that keep projects moving and clients satisfied.

Communication, adaptability and superb execution are April’s calling cards. She has the ability to bring clarity to ideas, both verbally and visually through design drawings. Currently, she’s involved in multiple high-rise residential developments and a range of student housing projects. April also has gained expertise in accessibility reviews. Understanding the often confusing, opaque and sometimes contradictory code requirements in different states, is critical knowledge she’s able to share with colleagues. She’s part of an award-winning team honored by AIA Atlanta, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Student Housing Business, Multifamily Executive, and Multi-Housing News for Whistler, an off-campus luxury student residence in Atlanta.

April, who brings more than 14 years of experience to the firm, has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Master of Architecture from the Georgia Institute of Technology. She was also a graduate of the 2021 ULI-Atlanta Center for Leadership class.
