About
Our History
Who We Are
Our company’s foundation lies in the shared background and guidance of both principals. Their diverse strengths meld harmoniously to create a collaborative dynamic that curbs unforeseen challenges arising from conflicting interests or a single decision-maker. Our portfolio spans diverse project types—residential, medical, retail, and commercial—across geographical expanses from Maine to California, positioning us to offer services akin to larger firms.
Larger companies grapple with inconsistencies due to multiple associates handling projects, resulting in variable work quality even within similar scopes. Our boutique size grants us the privilege of project selection, enabling focused attention on your endeavors, ensuring smooth project progression from start to finish, and reducing potential disruptions. Both principals, graduates of Southern Polytechnic State University (now KSU), accrued over thirteen years of mentoring under renowned figures in commercial and automotive domains, cementing our commitment to operational excellence.

Our Founders
Brice E. Johnson | Principal
My focus is providing excellence, care, and close attention to detail in all phases of design, development, permit and construction. I consider myself a modern gentleman in both persona and business practice. Integrity is central. Residing in Colorado, any free time allows for more camping, hiking, biking, and or snowboarding adventures. All these activities make for a great work-life balance
Cord McLean | Principal, AIA, NCARB
My exposure to architecture at an early age fostered a lasting appreciation for thoughtful design—not only in its aesthetic qualities but also an understanding of spatial relationships impact on the experience of building occupants. Outside of work, I remain actively involved in my community through service on Fernandina Beach Main Street’s Design Council and as a member of the Architectural Review Board. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the local beaches in search of shark teeth, spending time on the water with my family, and uncovering ‘historical detours’ during my travels.
Hayden Scott | Architectural Intern
My interest in architecture began with the ruins of Christiansted, V.I. Now that I have graduated with my bachelor’s degree in architecture, I am working with JMD while attending graduate school in pursuit of my master’s degree. I pride myself on my honesty, reliability, and the drive to always give my best to any work, no matter the scope. In my down time I enjoy fishing, playing guitar, and practicing piano.
Zach Elzi | Architectural Intern
My interest in architecture began while working on a framing crew, where I gained firsthand experience of the construction process and a deep appreciation for the built environment. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Architecture while contributing to the design team at JMD. I am committed to maintaining a strong work ethic, consistency, and continual professional growth as I advance in the Field. Originally from Colorado, I am passionate about the outdoors and enjoy mountain biking and fly fishing in my free time.
