"The best work comes from listening, collaborating, and keeping the human element first.”
Jessica’s portfolio ranges from highly technical labs to vibrant K–12 schools. No matter the project, her work is rooted in empathy, listening closely to users and shaping spaces that respond to their needs and aspirations.
Her commitment to equity runs deep. In 2018, she joined the Pathways to Equity fellowship, spending six months building coalitions, fostering long-term community partnerships, and exploring the role of social justice in design. That experience, along with her work on the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, continues to shape how she leads engagement and DEI initiatives at Noll & Tam.
Jessica welcomes perspectives from outside the profession, seeing them as essential to expanding her own ideas. She believes architecture is about creating spaces that bring people together, whether in a classroom, a clinic, or a library. Working with public agencies, she focuses on purpose, flexibility, and durability so each project becomes a lasting investment in its community.
Outside of work, she finds balance on long runs, hiking trails, and in her garden.
