After being forced into an architecture course in the 10th grade as an unwanted alternate to jewelry class, Jill realized her passion for design. What followed were three years of architectural design & competitions in high school, while concurrently working summers both drawing & working in landscapes. These early experiences influenced her ideas that the essence of place shapes who we are as individuals and as communities, and that universal accessibility to the land is vital to human happiness.
Both her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, and her graduate joint thesis in architecture & landscape architecture at the University of Virginia explored the idea that buildings “speak” most effectively to their inhabitants when they evolve from the myriad layers of the sites that they are placed within. For her, the inherent symbiotic relationship between the inside & outside also translates to a fascination with the constructed detail, and that a visceral connection to materials can directly inform beautiful & elegant designs.
Prior to coming to GGN, Jill's background includes over 15 years of landscape architecture, architecture & planning experience throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada & Spain.
