Marc Bittinger, Principal and Director of Design, has been involved with the design of the firm’s projects large and small. Since joining the firm in 1985, he has been instrumental in it’s growth and ability to serve various Libraries and Higher Education clients. Marc grew up the son of an architect, coloring beside his father at the home drafting table. His love and understanding of architecture at an early age was realized after viewing old family photos framed by important famous buildings. Marc shares his keen sense of design with owners, users and communities to engage them in the process of creating unique outcomes and achieving project goals in the built environment. He is also involved in many professional organizations serving his community and beyond including the American Library Association, Ohio Library Council, and the Strongsville Chamber of Commerce as well as a past board member of the Ohio Chapter of the American Liver Foundation and Strongsville Education Foundation.
Peter Bolek, President and Director of design for HBM Architects, is the heart of the firm’s collaborative working model taking an active role in both strategic and detailed design solutions in the studio. His passion lies in the belief that in addition to solving complex and pragmatic needs of a client’s program, design has the transformative power to enhance our everyday life experiences. Peter provides design leadership and insight into all the firm’s projects, as well as acting as the project designer on the firm’s most significant projects.
Peter has more than 20 years of experience with public sector clients and has participated in and orchestrated all facets of feasibility studies, programming, planning, design and construction of library projects across the country.
Jonathan Moody's work resides at the intersection of architecture and service—bringing transformational design to underserved communities. He believes architecture is a medium through which people can come together and participate in positive change.

His dedication to advancing diversity garners national attention, recently earning Moody Nolan the 2021 AIA Firm of the Year Award.

Moody Nolan’s work continues to exceed industry benchmarks, receiving more than 300 design awards and citations from AIA and NOMA.
