JASMINE COLLIER
Architectural Associate II
Like most kids at five years old, Jasmine came to the self-realization that she was ultimately called to become an architect after looking at her world-renowned LEGO Mega-Structures and Wood Stick Mansions she’d built and envisioned them coming to life. Her passion evolved from building arts and craft structures in elementary school, designing houses in the archaic Home Design Punch Software in middle school, exploring Engineering & Construction in high school by joining SkillsUSA, and finally, at the collegiate level, being accepted into the Architecture program at Florida Atlantic University.
Over the years, Jasmine has gained experience designing various architectural projects including small and large-scale single family residential, multi-family residential, mixed-use, retail, commercial office, and even commercial interior design. Her ideal project type is commercial office interior design and single-family residential, however, she’s developed a niche for alternative building types such as the use of shipping containers. For the past two years, she’s been working on developing a design platform that specializes in tiny shipping container homes for homeless shelters, transition facilities, and micro neighborhoods for single bachelor/bachelorettes with hopes of offering spatially flexible and more affordable homeownership.
Jasmine prides herself on her altruism; selflessly looking for ways to improve the built/unbuilt world for communities and individuals who are often undervalued and overlooked. Thus, Architecture, in her perspective, is just another tool that can be used to obtain this ultimate goal.
