About

Translating the rhythm of daily life into thoughtful and meaningful spaces for everyone.

Jordyn is a Revit-certified senior at Wake Forest High School with a 3.9 weighted GPA and an expected June 2027 graduation. Her interests in architecture and interior design are informed by psychology, sociology, and anthropology. She combines spatial reasoning with insight into human behavior to create intuitive, human-centered environments shaped by how people live, move, and feel.

She is seeking job shadowing, internships, and studio exposure within the built environment. She also welcomes opportunities in non-design fields that provide practical workplace experience, foundational skill development, and mentorship from experienced professionals.
