The Studio

Design with intent

Drift is an architecture and interior design creative studio based in Lake Stevens, serving the greater Seattle area.

Designed living space

Our Philosophy

Good ideas, good coffee, good design

We believe the best spaces come from intention — a clear understanding of how a room will be used, then design that makes it feel effortless. Our work is fluid and dynamic, balancing architectural rigor with warmth and livability.

Whether it’s a single kitchen or a ground-up multifamily building, we bring the same care to every square foot.

Founder & Principal

Meet Jen

Jen is the founder and principal of Drift — a Washington State–licensed architect and Syracuse University graduate with more than a decade of experience in multifamily and high-end residential design, including six-plus years in New York City.

An IIDA member who has built interior design departments from the ground up, she leads every project with a rare dual fluency: the technical precision of architecture and the curatorial eye of interior design.


What Guides Us

Three principles

I.

Intention first

Design decisions follow function. We start with how you’ll live, then shape space, light, and material around it.

II.

Architectural depth

A licensed architect’s understanding of structure and code, applied even to interiors, kitchens, and baths.

III.

Livable beauty

Rooms that are as easy to live in as they are to love — refined, durable, and personal.
