She provides smart ideas that are functional and stylish. Jennifer understands the needs for city approval and permitting which was a huge resource for us, as we were new to the process. Our remodel project ran smoothly and efficiently with the help of Jennifer's expertise and knowledge. **★★★★★ — Christina Carroll, Feb. 2018** > Jennifer has been such a great designer to work with. She gave us everything we wanted in a beautiful and functional design. We were very impressed to how she incorporated our list of wants while fitting everything perfectly on our property. We are currently building our home now and can not wait to be moved in. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting a new build or remodel. We will add photos when we are through with our build. **★★★★★ — Deborah Howe, Feb. 2018** > Working with Jennifer has been such a positive experience. She knows just what to do to get the project done. When it comes to working with the county permitting process she is experienced and will challenge the process if she thinks it can be done with less red tape and expense. She surrounds herself with professionals who are excellent at what they do and will not take advantage of you the homeowner. **★★★★★ — billiejeannenielson, Feb. 2016** > Love, Love, Love working with Jennifer! She was able to realize our vision quicker than we ever anticipated. She has been wonderful to work with, helpful with every step in the process. She has made what could have been a stressful ordeal into a pleasurable experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone! **★★★★★ — Cantrell Construction, Jan. 2016** > I have known and worked with Jennifer on numerous projects for the past 16 years. She is very professional, gets the work done timely and has very creative skills. Jennifer is also very good at working with the building jurisdictions and obtaining permits. She is always an asset to the projects that I work on with her. **★★★★★ — dritsas, Aug. 2015** > Jen has been a pleasure to work with from the start. We engaged her to design our new home at the Central Coast in California. She has a depth of knowledge with respect to effectively linking our thoughts about what we like to an overall design that exceeded our expectations. She has our highest recommendation. ## Selected projects - [Custom Home - Pismo Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-pismo-beach-pj-vj~2971474) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Contemporary Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-farmhouse-pj-vj~5561926) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Custom Home Arroyo Grande 2017](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-arroyo-grande-2017-pj-vj~5818960) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~1246222) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Custom Home - Arroyo Grande](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-arroyo-grande-pj-vj~1209790) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: Mediterranean, Tuscan - [Private Residence - Arroyo Grande](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/private-residence-arroyo-grande-pj-vj~1246219) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/jm-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1417699325) ## Ideabooks - [tally ho interior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/76566732/list/tally-ho-interior) — 21 ideas - [Moscardi Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/146114207/list/moscardi-residence) — 14 ideas - [Guerrero Residence Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125288740/list/guerrero-residence-exterior) — 2 ideas - [Martinez Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120233247/list/martinez-residence) — 3 ideas - [ZALAMEA](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114516485/list/zalamea) — 19 ideas - [Knupp exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106689303/list/knupp-exterior) — 13 ideas - [Donati Arbor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105555564/list/donati-arbor) — 1 idea - [olsen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/97091808/list/olsen) — 8 ideas - [new farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79604791/list/new-farmhouse) — 9 ideas - [simmons](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79208181/list/simmons) — 4 ideas - [carroll residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/76228906/list/carroll-residence) — 2 ideas - [bischoff secondary](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70750854/list/bischoff-secondary) — 1 idea - [Nice Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65936131/list/nice-exterior) — 2 ideas - [doud](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54685170/list/doud) — 16 ideas - [Nielsen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54418227/list/nielsen) — 11 ideas - [theule deck](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55293864/list/theule-deck) — 4 ideas - [siding](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31149421/list/siding) — 10 ideas - [Old Ranch Road](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/32783078/list/old-ranch-road) — 16 ideas - [cloud - stained concrete](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11814484/list/cloud-stained-concrete) — 17 ideas [See all 19 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jmarchitecturedesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is finish on driveway?
