Jeni is a Designer and Project Manager at Architecture 101 whose work is grounded in creativity, service, and a deep sense of community. She grew up in Texas, where being involved was simply part of everyday life. From performing in drumline and dance recitals to volunteering locally and painting a town mural with her dad, Jeni learned early that being part of a community also means finding meaningful ways to contribute to it. That same versatility shows up at Architecture 101, where she has also unofficially taken on roles in marketing, branding, social media, graphic design, and just about anything else that needs a creative eye.

That mindset continues to shape her approach to architecture. Jeni is especially passionate about design that serves people and communities, with a strong interest in disaster relief and recovery. For her, service is not limited to work behind a computer. She is equally willing to put on boots, show up in a disaster-affected community, and help wherever she can. Whether through Samaritan’s Purse, Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, the American Red Cross, Faith Equestrian Center, or her church’s children’s ministry, Jeni is someone who naturally takes initiative and is often the first to step forward when there is an opportunity to help.

Creatively, Jeni has an instinctive eye for design, branding, and visual communication. She is currently completing her thesis at SCAD and entering the final year of the IPAL program, on track to complete her degree and pursue architectural licensure. She is constantly refining her skills, learning something new, and finding ways to bring more intentionality into the work, whether that means developing a project, shaping the firm’s brand, designing a presentation, or obsessing over exactly the right font.

Outside the office, Jeni loves a good book, a good craft, a good nook, and just about any hobby she can pick up. She values quality time and the small details of people’s lives, and she has a talent for weaving little moments of humor into the office. At home, she can often be found dressing up her porch goose or replanting her bluebonnets for what feels like the twentieth time after the neighborhood squirrels have dug them up again.
