Each summer, Hutker Architects welcomes a new group of interns to our studios, giving students the opportunity to experience the profession firsthand. From project teams and construction drawings to research, rendering, and the operations that support our practice, this year’s interns have contributed across the firm while learning from the architects, designers, and staff around them.
Meet our 2026 summer interns and learn more about what they’ve been working on, what they’ve discovered, and what they’ll take with them into the next stage of their careers.
Annaleissa Gerlach
Boston Architectural College | Master of Architecture
Annaleissa has worked across multiple project phases while also contributing to research initiatives within the firm. She was especially surprised by how much responsibility she was given and how readily the team welcomed her into design conversations.
From day one, I felt like my input was wanted and appreciated. It was really exciting to be part of the conversations at the drawing board.Annaleissa Gerlach
Caroline Jennings
Boston College | Human Centered Engineering
As an engineering student, Caroline came to Hutker with an entirely new perspective on architecture. This summer, she has worked on a variety of projects using AutoCAD and SketchUp while visiting several of the firm’s offices and projects and learning from the designers behind them.
I’ve loved being part of the team at Hutker, helping to thoughtfully design amazing homes.Caroline Jennings
Colin Jones
Wentworth Institute of Technology | Master of Architecture
Colin has worked on a range of projects this summer, from picking up redlines and preparing award submissions to developing existing-condition drawings from original historic plans. Along the way, he has gained a deeper appreciation for the thought and care behind each design decision.
Seeing the level of attention behind every decision has deepened my appreciation for the care, intention, and consideration that goes into creating a home.Colin Jones
Ellie Kaufer
Syracuse University School of Architecture | Bachelor of Architecture
Ellie has worked across several project teams, creating exterior and interior SketchUp models and rendered site drawings for client and contractor meetings. Coming from a school that primarily uses Rhino, she also quickly adapted to Hutker’s AutoCAD and SketchUp workflow.
From the moment I arrived, Hutker was such a friendly and vibrant place. I feel inspired, guided, and like a valuable team member thanks to everyone at the company.Ellie Kaufer
Anna Norton
University of Massachusetts Amherst | Finance
Anna has spent the summer working in Operations, supporting everything from prospecting and data organization to contracts and accounts payable. Coming to Hutker without prior architecture experience, she quickly became familiar with the terminology, software, and processes of the firm.
Working in an operational role has given me the opportunity to see how each department works together to produce incredible work. I have loved seeing how a creative, collaborative team brings projects to life.Anna Norton
Zoe Whelan
Northeastern University | Bachelor of Architecture
Back for her second summer at Hutker, Zoe has built on her previous experience while contributing to construction drawings and developing interior and exterior design iterations. Her growing confidence and responsibility have also helped confirm her interest in pursuing residential architecture after graduation.
Working on the projects I have this year and last is what made me realize I want to go into residential architecture post-grad. I’m incredibly grateful to what Hutker Architects has given me, and I hope I’ve been able to make as much of a positive impact here as well.Zoe Whelan
We’re grateful to this year’s interns for the ideas, enthusiasm, and contributions they’ve brought to Hutker, and we wish them well in what comes next.
