Founded in 1997 as James Dayton Design, JDD Studio is led by three partners, Robert Hunter, Abby Jensen, and Patrick Regan, who have the combined experience of leading the designs and operations for all JDD’s projects to date.

JDD Studio’s mission is to create thoughtful, well-crafted spaces that serve clients well and contribute positively to the community in a creative and innovative way. The success of our projects across all metrics of client satisfaction and myriad building types is testament to our design methodology. Central to our approach is a fundamental belief that environments should be unique expressions of their users, and we are committed to providing creative and considered design solutions while never losing sight of the people at the heart of the process.

JDD Studio has extensive experience in concept design, programming, master planning, architectural design, interior design, and in supporting capital campaign efforts. Central to our practice is a respect for and defense of the natural environment. We recognize that the decisions we make in how we build today will impact future generations. We work with our clients and industry leaders to design projects that are highly sustainable, functional, cost effective, and beautiful.
