JESSICA’S ROLE

Connect the details.
Move the work forward.

Jessica coordinated the early development discussion and professional team, with S. Mitchell Hodge providing the architectural schematic work and Anderson, Delk, Epps providing survey information.

The documented milestone

The May 2026 project archive contains an existing-conditions survey and revised two-home schematic plans. The drawings show the concept’s relationship to the slope, street, floor levels, and rear access.
