Nathan Revor

My name is Nathan Revor, and I’m a recent graduate of Cornell University. I created this website to be a small cross-section of my more visual work in urban planning and architecture. It does not constitute my full portfolio, and it largely grazes over my writing, analysis, project management, and leadership skills. Please reach out for more information, or just to chat!
