Interviewee:
Gina Billings (she/her)
In your own words, tell us about your business, organization, or initiative.
Jones Architecture is a medium-sized, design-oriented practice with a strong culture of service and collaboration. We are based in Salem, MA with an office in Miami, FL and Nashville, Tennessee. We thrive on uniting design and service in a celebration of people and place — on campuses, in the office, at home and in many spaces between. Our specialties include learning environments, academic libraries, workplaces, athletics and any type of project that involves the intricacies and delicacies associated with a wide-ranging stakeholder group. Supporting local communities and “designing with” rather than “designing for” is our passion.
Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do. Share your passions for your business, organization, or initiative.
We love helping people solve problems and we love to make beautiful things. Architecture, planning, and design are the perfect outlet for those passions.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
We work not only across Massachusetts, but New England, and down the Atlantic seaboard to Miami, and west to Illinois.
