Hello, my name is Jessie Lu. I graduated with my Master's of Architecture from the University of Southern California. I have 3+ years of professional experience at practices and teams of various scales and disciplines.
As a student of design, I enjoy the level of creativity and the practice of self-expression in shaping our creations. Every project offers a chance to apply our creative and problem-solving skills to create something distinct and exceptional, while being sensitive to it’s surrounding environment and context. Being a part of the design community has afforded me the chance to learn from other creative individuals, allowing me to further hone my craft.
In addition to my architectural experience, I also have an extensive background in other art-related fields, including drawing, painting, and digital media. This diverse skill set allows me to bring a multifaceted approach to design projects and contribute to innovative solutions.

I contributed to the drawings and design efforts of projects of various types and sizes, including a large-scale hotel and condominiums in Palm Springs, tenant improvement for a food bank in Goleta, and the remodel and permitting of structures at Laurel Springs Ranch. Additionally, I assisted in developing a comprehensive detail library containing accurately drawn details and conditions for standard and custom wall, floor, roof, balcony, and various connection details.
