"As small business owners heading into our first commercial project we didn't know what we didn't know. Heather's sharp eye and expert design skills beautifully tailored our project above and beyond what we thought was possible. Her transparency and advocacy—from initial concept through construction—was invaluable. We can't wait to work on another project with her."

— Kat & Mari, owners of Bar Method Phinney Ridge

“Heather is my dream architect, and I'm patiently awaiting the day we can collaborate on another project! Bake Shop is the first storefront that I've opened, and let's be honest, I truly had no idea what I was getting into. Heather was there to hold my hand and answer my million questions every step of the way. She was so responsive and organized, and I always knew where things were at and what the next steps of the project were. On top of this, she designed our space so beautifully, thoughtfully, and really understood my vision from the get go!”

— Krista, owner of Bake Shop

“Outstanding services with quality and within budget. So many friends have admired her work and requested referrals. Would be using her on future projects.”

— Constance, homeowner

“We were lucky to connect with Heather on our exterior porch project this past summer. Our project was small but mighty! As part of a larger exterior update to our home including new siding & windows, we knew the cornerstone would be our porch design and rebuild of our 1905 Seattle box home. Over 40+ years of unfortunate updates to the house, our challenge was to return our 100+ year old house to its original charm and symmetry. Heather worked with us to really understand our goals and  practical needs. She was able to quickly turnaround an on-the-mark design, laying out different ideas and its pros/cons and then guide the project through the complicated and time consuming city permitting process. We really appreciated her design and process approach and we are so excited to see the design come to completion!”

- Janey, homeowner

“We had the great pleasure of working with Heather at Jeunesse Architects on the Fair Isle Brewery build-out. As a contractor, we work with many local architects on a variety of projects. What sets Heather apart from the rest was her ability to mix high design with functionality and realistic budgets. Her quick responses and exceptional permitting knowledge allowed us to work efficiently while her team attitude made the process between Client, Architect, and Contractor constructive and effective. We really appreciated her honest and forthright approach to design and construction and look forward to working with her again.”

— Tim Dolan & Patrick Dolan, Dolan Construction 

“My store buildout had MANY obstacles to overcome but Heather was always by my side with experienced insights and creative solutions to make it work. She was incredibly organized, has great attention to detail, and was able to synthesize my vision into reality. I always felt heard when I had any concerns and I would love to work on a project with her again!”

— Jayne, owner of The Naked Grocer

“Our winery tasting room project was a big leap for us as small business.  Heather’s expertise was just the right mix for us.  She efficiently managed the project to ensure we would meet all necessary construction requirements and stay on our timeline.  Aesthetically she was able to translate the look and feel we wanted with quality materials that worked within our budget.  The finished project exceeded our expectations – we love it.”

-Lisa, owner of Baer Winery

“Heather played an instrumental role in our restaurant build-out, skillfully aligning a multitude of moving pieces and stakeholders. Her attention to detail included asking insightful questions we hadn't considered, advocating for necessary changes, and consistently prioritizing Atoma's vision throughout the process. Working with Heather ensured a cohesive collaboration and a final result reflecting our aspirations.”

- Johnny & Sarah, owners of Atoma

“Heather has an exceptional knack for distilling innovative and workable designs from blue sky conversations with clients.  In addition to her talents as an architect, Heather brings real construction experience to the table and this ensures that aesthetics, functionality, and constructability coexist harmoniously in her work.  I have always found sitting down with Heather to think through construction and fabrication challenges to be a rare pleasure.

Heather’s responsiveness, her easy demeanor, and her openness to other ideas are hard to match.”

— Matthias Scheiblehner, founder & president of Mētis Construction Inc. 2008-2020, founder & president of Rhizome Construction 2020-present

“We love working with Heather. We enjoyed going through the iterative idea process with her and were thrilled with the creative designs she developed for our old home. We appreciate her project management skills and her ability to work well with our construction company and contractors. She is down-to-earth, listens well, and is super collaborative.”

— Paul & Traci, homeowners

“Working with Jeunesse Architects has been both a pleasure and benefit to my business. Heather takes a very collaborative approach to design, but also brings a wide breadth of building code and permitting knowledge to the table. Not only does Heather have a great eye for design and space, but she also helps ensure contractors and engineers are performing fair and quality work as well. Adding Jeunesse Architects to our projects is like adding a new team member to our organization.”

— Roman, owner of Tapster

“As first time business owners, Heather was exactly who we needed to get our project from the idea phase to completion. She took our small industrial box and using her expertise combined our aesthetic with all the functional elements we needed to create a warm, inviting wine bar. There were a lot of challenges with our space and Heather was always quick to respond and to help us pivot. Highly recommend!”
