CELEBRATING GREEN DESIGN THIS EARTH MONTH
During this Earth Month, as architects and designers, we reflect on the importance of sustainability as it relates to the built environment. From studies showing that consumers are more likely to buy from businesses that are environmentally friendly, to the commitment we all share to reduce our carbon footprint, it’s clear that sustainable design is more than a trend. It’s a necessity.

CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH AT JNS
March is Women’s History Month, specifically meant to lift up and celebrate women of all kinds, but at JNS, we take pride in our gender diversity year-round.

JNS remains dedicated to paving the way for women to continue doing great things in design.
