Principal, Fender Katsalidis
Led by her boundless passion for architecture, Jess has become a highly regarded principal at Fender Katsalidis, and now leads our Brisbane studio. Since her early days with the practice, she has always displayed a penchant for planning and design development. Almost two decades on, she has blossomed into the quintessential modern architect and exudes the winning culture and ethos that FK represents.
With unwavering tenacity, Jess completed her architecture studies at RMIT with honours and landed a job documenting projects at Fender Katsalidis soon after. Her ability to assimilate multiple viewpoints into buildable realities honours the firm’s design intent, quickly and to the highest quality. These valued traits have brought her quiet gratification, as well as renown to the firm.
As a student of the built environment, Jess is constantly striving to bring architecture back to the notion of it being human centric; and in particular, within the seniors living sector. That enduring resilience within her continues to result in good design being accessible to more people from all walks of life.
