About 

My name is Jay Schlesinger and I'm an aspiring architectural designer, pursuing my architecture license, and a career designing thoughtful, sustainable, and experiential buildings.

I have a passion for sports, and sport architecture, but also a passion for exercising my creativity, crafting ideas, and presenting these ideas.

In addition to my architecture career, I'm also pursuing a career as a US Soccer Official, and I'm working my way towards officiating professional games.
