Raised in Southern California and France, Jessica Helgerson had a unique upbringing—eventually she found her way to design and started her own firm in 2000, moving it to Portland, Oregon six years later. There, she’s built a reputation around her thoughtful, layered work, and her values—Helgerson’s 1% Project sees her donating a portion of the invoices on her projects to local nonprofits. On this episode of the podcast she speaks with host Dennis Scully about her recent induction into the AD100; opening an outpost of her firm in Paris; and why she has two bosses on every project: the client and the house itself. This episode is sponsored by Loloi and John Rosselli & AssociatesLINKSJessica HelgersonDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
