We believe that architecture is more than the walls around us, it is a framework that reflects our personal experiences & our values. Each project is an opportunity to be part of our client’s distinctive routines, to continuously listen & learn. For you, we craft buildings and spaces that are simultaneously inspired by the rich character of our local Pacific Northwest region and reflect your unique vision - creating enduring places to live, work & visit. 

RALLYMADE is a full-service architecture and interior design studio based in Portland and licensed in both Oregon & Washington.  We specialize in the design of high-quality customized homes, renovations and creative commercial fit outs for workplace & retail spaces.

  • “Jen put together the permit package to remodel a wonderful older home situated on a 26,000 sq ft lot in the middle of Camas, Washington. She was attuned to our budget and worked within the house’s existing footprint to carve out a spacious master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk in closets, opened up the kitchen and added an island to improve traffic flow, and carved out a new front door/entry. She nudged the project along by diplomatically dealing with engineering firms that were often unresponsive for weeks at a time (we understand everyone is busy, but to be radio-silent for weeks is inexcusable). She is an excellent listener, asks good questions and quickly takes thorough notes so there isn’t a lot of “oh, I thought you meant this“ back & forth. On a related note, we admire and support Jen’s longtime advocacy of women and other under-represented groups within the architectural profession.”

  • “I started working with Jen at RALLYMADE over a year ago. She was helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire design process. Having never done any structural engineering or design work myself, I was nervous to start the process. From beginning to end she helped me through the process and laid out the scope of what the space could look like. She also provided thoughtful emails and followed up promptly after making requests and asking for ideas. I would recommend Jen to anyone looking at designs for their house or new builds.”

  • “Jen was an excellent guide through our internal renovation. She helped us envision a few different options, drew up plans, guided us through the permitting process and helped us find a contractor to complete the project.

    Highly recommended!”

  • "I had a great experience working with Jen for renovations in my home including adding a bathroom, renovating a bonus room, and adding storage in the basement.

    She listened carefully to our needs/preferences with regard to utilization of space, aesthetics, and budget, and created detailed plans with multiple options for consideration. Once we were connected with a contractor she continued regular check-ins to ensure the project moved along smoothly.

    She provided thorough and thoughtful communication, and offered helpful feedback, throughout the entire process."

  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Jen twice. The first was as part of new house construction for a friend. That was a huge project and came out beautifully. The second was a fireplace addition. She's an excellent architect, has an amazing sense of design, and is patient as well as listening well. I'd do a third project with her without question.The recent project (adding a fireplace into our Victorian) is the one that impressed me with her skills in design. A previous remodel had left an odd cubby with misaligned walls and strange shadows. (Basically, it was almost as if they started to add a clothes closet into the living room.) Jen worked with us to figure out how to fill the space and make the look harmonious with the rest of the room. She put up with my picky questions about textures and style. She talked us down from overdoing it in an attempt to add in storage to an already busy space. She helped with the project management, finding us a builder, and coordinating communication for the core construction. The finished look isn't for everyone but it suits our style and the Victorian character.”

  • “Working with Jen as an interior designer was an incredibly enriching experience. She brought a wealth of knowledge in structural design and attention to detail helping to create a cohesive and harmonious design. We communicated effectively, exchanging ideas and feedback, ensuring that the client's vision was perfectly realized. This collaboration not only enhanced the project but was also so much fun! The synergy between our disciplines was evident in the final outcome and I believe truly enhanced our client's project.

    Can't wait for our next project together!”
