Meet Jillian Florence
Jillian Florence is an intern at Studio 3 Architecture. She received her Bachelor of Architecture with a minor in Urban Design from New School of Architecture and Design in San Diego, California. She joins Studio 3 with a wide range of experience particularly when it comes to hands on experience within the design/build side of the architectural profession. Her first few years after college were spent getting her hands dirty building on site and fabricating in a shop. Each project was unique to not only the client but also to the space in which it was designed for. Her attention to detail and her enthusiasm on learning not only the way things are built but also the process of how to build them has gained her invaluable knowledge in the architectural profession.
But her passion lies in the perception of architectural spaces, and how people truly experience space. Her passion is in designing spaces that speak to our emotions and influence our memories.
