Jessica Zapata is a London-based designer from Washington, DC, working across intersecting interior design, architecture and sustainability. Driven by a curiosity for how spatial, material and environmental conditions shape the way we experience and inhabit our surroundings.

A graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with a CIDA-accredited Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and a minor in Pathways to Sustainability. Currently pursuing an MA in Architecture at the Royal College of Art. Professional experience includes working alongside designers and architects at ColePrévost, Stantec, & Perkins + Will.

Design approach grounded in research, observation and iterative making. Particular interest in how architecture and interiors can respond to existing social, material and environmental conditions, exploring questions of adaptive reuse, circularity and longevity while remaining practical and responsive to how spaces are actually inhabited.
