Form as a living response to place.

Besides her great aesthetic sense and creativity, she has a comprehensive understanding of construction methods — essential for making sure the renderings become reality. Diplomatic, savvy, firm with contractors when necessary, and with a knack for finding the best solutions for tricky problems.

With Jessica you get not only a talented architect but also a great, detail-oriented project manager. I chose her out of three other architects I had shortlisted, and I was always surprised by her ability to listen so keenly and translate that into design. When we hired a challenging GC, Jessica maneuvered systematically and went above and beyond to save us at every point. You're always at ease in her presence, and I miss working with her!

Easy to work with, and just the right balance of creativity and practicality.

Jessica completely synched in to our taste and how we wanted to use our space, and came up with multiple options for every major decision — all of which we loved. From the biggest restructuring issue to the smallest design tweak, she was always there with advice on what would work best. Her careful eye always picked up the tiniest issues as the project went on. It's lovely to work with someone whose taste you trust and love, creating a space that's beautiful, functional, and interesting. We couldn't have had a more ideal experience!

I'd highly recommend Jessica. She's incredibly professional, well-prepared and smart. She put great thought and preparation into every phase of our meeting, and she clearly knows so much about what she does. I really like that she offers plentiful ideas and is ready to look for creative solutions rather than just executing in a workman-like way. At the same time she's really receptive and willing to listen. She's highly skilled, and understands how to make the process of renovation as pleasant and exciting as possible.
