About
Noah Wali is an architectural designer, photographer, and visual artist based in Portland, Oregon.
His work explores architecture, cities, public space, people, and the way design shows up in everyday life. With a background in Architectural Studies and Urban Studies at Boston University, Noah brings together spatial thinking, visual storytelling, and hands-on experience across architecture, hospitality, retail, apparel, travel and photography.
His architectural work includes professional experience with OFFICEUNTITLED in Los Angeles, where he contributed to drawings, Rhino models, physical models, facade studies, site research, and the Heartburst bamboo installation for Burning Man.
His photography and design work reflect the same interest: how people move through places, how cities hold memory, and how design shapes behavior.
His talent and ambition have earned him opportunities to grow his skills and as an artist. He has worked with photographer Tadzio Dloguolecki, shooting the Woodlark Hotel in Portland, Oregon. He was selected to join a group of photographers on a trip to Cuba to study and photograph the unique island together. He has collaborated with Laura Moulton, creator of Street Books, to photograph and collect the stories of Portland’s homeless community. Those portraits and stories will be published in a book in order to draw additional attention to this growing issue.
Noah shoots with a Canon 6D and works with a wide variety of film cameras as well. He is continually experimenting and discovering new ways to capture the world around him.
When he’s not shooting, Noah’s career concentrates in the architectural field. He is constantly exploring, experimenting with structural design, and spending time with family and friends.
