Meredith Tribble

Meredith is from northern Wyoming, just outside the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park — a place that has shaped her deep connection to the natural world. Her path to architecture hasn’t been a straight line. Before starting her Master’s of Architecture at the University of Arizona, she spent more than 11 years running her own café, where she built a strong community and developed an enduring love (and need) for coffee. Her dogs, Woodford and Anchovy, are often by her side on mountain trails, sharing in her love for the outdoors. Meredith is passionate about sustainability and believes architecture should work in harmony with the environment, not against it. Her current thesis explores how architecture can bring joy — how architectural interventions can lift the spirit, support well-being, and foster connection between people and place.
