Hi, I’m Jen O’Brien
Passionate about creating community-driven impact through data, storytelling, and human-centered design. Currently pursuing an MS in Data Science & Analytics with a certificate in Geospatial Information Systems.
Skilled in stakeholder collaboration, marketing, event communications, user-centered design, and project management. Eager to use my experience and education to promote the preservation of culture and build community in creative and interesting ways.
I can also tap dance.
Recent Projects
Our practice spans from environmental retrofits of existing buildings to the complete planning and design of new neighborhoods and public spaces. While our work is aesthetically diverse, our projects are linked by a focus on enhancing human relationships through architecture.
