JARRETT JESPERSEN
Jarrett is an experienced designer focused on Chicago-area residential renovations, de-conversions, and new construction. He uses his responsive design sensibility and technical understanding of the construction process to help projects successfully move from the initial design phase through construction.
Fortunately for 34-TEN and our clients, Jarrett has become intimately familiar with the quirks of early 1900s Chicago 2-flats, their rear wood-frame additions and common brick exterior, bay windows, and bearing walls over the past five years. He brings this experience and his time in the trades to the firm, where he enjoys designing thoughtful solutions that listen to these old buildings while meeting our clients’ needs for today.
A Chicago native, Jarrett previously worked at Studio Gang Architects on projects ranging from luxury, residential towers to urban plans, and a small firm where he focused on designing sustainable strategies in an urban fabric. He holds a B.Arch degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology and is currently working on his architecture licensure.
In his spare time, Jarrett enjoys being outside as much as he can, whether that’s biking or hiking through the Daniel Burnham-designed park system or drinking beer and chatting with friends on a local bar patio.
