Jessica Mann strongly believes in a contextual and integrated approach to planning and design. Neighbourhood and site planning projects are founded on their social, cultural, environmental and physical (landform) analyses. Her strong technical and graphic skillsets allow her to communicate sensitive design solutions. Her experience covers a breadth of public and private sector work, including neighbourhood planning and design guidelines. Jessica attributes her understanding of the nuance of place to her experience of growing up in the distinct cultural and historical contexts of France, Canada and the United States.
