sydney jones

architectural associate

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Sydney brings a lifetime of seeing the world as it could be. Thanks to a family history of craftiness and a childhood obsession with old homes with good bones, she found her path to architecture. With a degree from the University of Cincinnati, this DAAPer is on a lifelong mission to try new things and, in her words, create her own answers.

Sydney was drawn to architecture by its ongoing process of learning, improving, and applying. This journey brought her to Chicago and OKW, where she will use her experience to bring our layered and complex projects to life. Outside of the office, you can find Sydney crocheting, reading, or exploring the city.
