We specialize in the transformation of workplaces, living spaces, and historically significant properties—serving the Western United States and beyond through a flexible, virtual model that reflects the future of work.
Our collective includes architects, designers, researchers, strategists, and makers, all driven by a shared commitment to shaping environments that elevate human potential. With deep expertise across design, product development, branding, industrial innovation, and systems thinking, we approach each project as a catalyst for positive change—for individuals, organizations, and communities.
We engage through a research-informed, with a purpose-driven lens.

Whether shaping a corporate headquarters or a regenerative living environment, we embrace the full complexity of context to deliver spaces that are meaningful, enduring, and inclusive.
Design is a force for transformation. We believe the most powerful spaces are those that balance function and beauty, amplify human well-being, and contribute to the health of our environment. Our work blends analytical precision with artistic exploration to uncover opportunities where others see only limitations.
J S D A is one of few firms in the US aligned with the B Corporation goals. Our certification as a Public Benefit Corporation reflects our ongoing dedication to environmental and social responsibility.
