Andy L.JLA Team Member Since 2014"At JLA, I'm loving my experience. At a smaller firm, you're more hands-on. You don't have as many people, so you're covering more aspects of the design, from sketching and schematics, all the way through construction documents."
Rafeeq A.JLA Team Member Since 2018"As a project manager, I really value the depth of knowledge of the JLA staff and the collaborative format in which we operate. Everyone brings their unique perspective and ideas to the table to allow JLA to produce exceptional designs and service at every stage."
