Meet your architect.

Jessica Shipard is a Registered Architect and the Director of Ess.

She wears too much black and takes her coffee, as well as her projects, more seriously than herself. 

She has 15+ years of design cred 

across residential, heritage, and

high-performance building principles. 

Her diverse experience comes together here and now to facilitate beautiful new-earth spaces with her clients. She's passionate about natural, authentic building materials and craftsmanship that lasts.
