Jason Cole

“Every project has a ripple effect,” says Jason, “whether it’s enhancing daily experiences, improving economies or promoting environmental responsibility.” Ultimately, he adds, it’s about making the world more functional, inclusive, and inspiring. Jason is especially inspired by healthcare projects, where “thoughtful design has the power to transform a traumatic experience into a healing one,” he notes. “I’ve seen firsthand how the built environment can profoundly impact wellness and recovery.” Visiting Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater as a teen guided Jason toward architecture, captivated by the realization that “a structure could transcend its basic function and become something extraordinary.”
