    "I have had the pleasure of working directly with Joleen Alison, AIA on projects for more than a decade. She exclusively produces all of the specfications for our firm. Joleen has shown impressive adaptability when working with contractors, owners, product reps, vendors, and our consultants. She can quickly switch gears when changes arise. She really knows her stuff, and has helped me with many questions and new products over the years. Her on-time performance and time management ability are both excellent. I can recommend her fully and without reservation."

MEET JOLEEN

ARCHITECT. ENTREPRENEUR.

I grew up on construction sites alongside my father, a general contractor, where I developed a strong aptitude for building and a curiosity for design. After seven years of dedicated study, I became the first in my family to graduate from college, proudly earning a Master’s in Architecture.

I’ve spent nearly three decades immersed in the world of architecture, working on a wide variety of project types from airports, sports arenas, and convention centers to high-rise mixed-use, corporate, and hospitality developments. Before starting my own practice in 2008, I had the privilege of working with seven different architecture firms, which allowed me to gain hands-on experience in all phases of design and construction.

I’ve owned and been a partner in several businesses, which has given me a broad perspective on client needs, operations, and project management. Over the past 16 years, I’ve focused on providing construction specifications for over 800 projects, giving me a deep understanding of construction methods, materials, and industry standards.

I’m a licensed architect in the states of New York and North Carolina, and I hold several key certifications, including Certified Construction Specifier, LEED Accredited Professional, and a current NCARB Certificate, which allows me to streamline the licensing process in any U.S. state.

When I’m not immersed in architecture, I split my time between South Beach and Manhattan, enjoying the energy of both cities. I’m passionate about health and fitness, embracing a lifestyle of strength, movement, and discipline. The same dedication that drives my personal well-being fuels my work — bringing focus, precision, and a commitment to excellence to every new opportunity.

Together we shape the future!
