Originally from New York City, Amanda Lee moved to Los Angeles to diversify her cultural knowledge of a different city and to increase her understanding of practicing architecture. She joined JKA in October 2019 as an architectural designer and has worked on many projects, ranging from multi-family residential to auto dealerships. She has also assisted others in design documentation and development. Prior to joining JKA, she worked in interior retail design at Calvin Klein and Barneys New York. She was an AmeriCorps VISTA from 2014-2015 and worked with the non-profit, Habitat for Humanity NYC. She has also participated in several Habitat design builds across the country. Her interest in architecture started with defining the idea of “home.” As an enthusiastic urbanist, she admires Jane Jacobs and seeks to humanize our engagement with the built environment.
