1st Place: Kristy Jacobson

“Hey! My name is Kristy Jacobson! I am an Architectural Designer here in Northern Utah. I specialize in Custom House Plans, Remodels, and Interior and Exterior Renderings. I started K Design Studio about 5 years ago to be able to be home with my young kids. I have absolutely loved being able to continue my career while being able to be with my kids. The support from my family, friends, and clients have made it such a success. I am so grateful. I love everything about designing homes. Seeing it first come together on paper and then seeing the actual home be built, has been such a joy for me. I still have to pinch myself that I get to do this every day. Renderings have truly become a passion of mine. The excitement from my clients after seeing what their home/space can look like is what makes it all worth it. I am beyond grateful for all of the people and adventures that have shaped my career to what it is today. I love what I do, and wouldn’t want to do anything else!”

“All of us here at Design Texas Studios are once again excited to be featured in Chief Architects’ design competition! The Chief Architect software has allowed us to serve our clients (both Builders and Owners) in powerful ways. The ability to know each design inside and out aids in the visualization and structural integrity of each project. We will continue to utilize the advancement of technology to learn and grow as a company. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to what’s to come!

On a more serious note, my primary goal in joining this competition was to “beat” my brother’s interior design placing. Sadly, we tied. The feud continues….”
