Tuesday, August 18th, 2026
Post Loyal Architecture has expanded its design team with the addition of Anastasiya Politykina, RA, as Project Architect and Jack Balloun as Architectural Designer, reflecting the firm's continued growth and increasing workload across its Atlanta and Charleston, S.C., offices.
Politykina brings nearly a decade of experience designing complex commercial, institutional and historic preservation projects. Before joining Post Loyal, she worked with Gensler and Houser Walker Architecture, where she led projects ranging from corporate headquarters and mixed-use developments to National Park Service restorations and civic facilities. She is a registered architect in New York and a LEED Green Associate.
Balloun joins the firm after previously interning with Post Loyal while completing his architectural education. He earned a Master of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology after earning bachelor's degrees in architecture and modern languages from Clemson University. During his internship, he contributed to projects in multiple phases of design and construction while developing expertise in digital modeling, documentation and client presentations.
"Post Loyal has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years, and adding talented architects like Anastasiya and Jack positions us to continue delivering the thoughtful, context-driven design our clients have come to expect," said Allen Post, founding partner of Post Loyal. "They strengthen our ability to serve clients throughout the Southeast."
Founded in 2019 by Allen Post and Chris Loyal, Post Loyal has built a reputation for thoughtful architecture rooted in adaptive reuse, historic preservation and the transformation of existing buildings and sites. The firm partners with developers, municipalities and institutional clients on commercial, cultural and mixed-use projects throughout the Southeast.
