We are 100% woman-owned, with a young and dynamic team that cares deeply about ethical practices, gender, race, and ethnic equality for all. Highly collaborative and communicative, members of the tensile team work, travel and draw inspiration from all corners of the globe. The firm specifically cultivates clients from all cultures and backgrounds and is excited by the continental examples of peopl
e, personalities and desires for how to live. We aim to to uplift all people and communities through design. The firm’s design approach is to utilize elements of the past in order to elevate the present and future. Socially, culturally, politically and fiscally the firm pushes projects from the beginning to be as sustainable as possible. At the same time, a playful injection of nostalgia, memories, dreams and futuristic ideas is allowed to permeate the initial design process. The firm’s guided intent has been to tackle all scopes of projects and scales of design—whether at the scale of the cup or vessel, the scale of fashion, or the scale of architecture—even the scale of a whole community. At its core, JSDS revels in the academic, futuristic and infinite; design is a paradox so that we may see the world more clearly. The firm seeks clients who are risk-takers and visionaries—contact us today for a free consultation.
