Jenifer ‘Jeni’ Torres, Assoc. AIA

Project Manager

Architecture, for Jeni, has always been less about what gets built and more about who it's built for. That conviction didn't come from a classroom alone — it was shaped by years of showing up. From disaster recovery efforts with Samaritan's Purse to stocking shelves at Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, Jeni has woven community service into the fabric of her everyday life. That service-first mindset has taught her that the most powerful spaces emerge when you truly listen — to the land, to the culture, to the quiet needs that often go unspoken.
As an emerging architectural professional, Jeni brings a range of skills to the firm contributing sharp design thinking and her expertise in graphic communication has proven equally invaluable. She has an eye that is almost compositional by nature, instinctively reading color, pattern, detail, and proportion in a way that elevates everything it touches.
A hardworking and trustworthy member of the Architecture 101 team, Jeni brings the same energy and intentionality to a construction document set as she does to a community outreach effort. She is someone the team counts on — not just to get things done, but to get them done with care and purpose. She is someone who understands that comfort looks different for everyone, and that the most meaningful designs are the ones that celebrate that diversity while still creating common ground.
