This position is full time and remote, but will be based in northern New Jersey with occasional in-person meetings in NJ and NYC. This role may be licensed or non-licensed.

prose architecture

Prose Architecture was built at the intersection of architecture and storytelling with the purpose of fostering connection and community. We are a young, boutique firm specialized in retail, workplace, and hospitality projects. We build strong relationships with our clients, succeeding, faltering, learning, and growing together as a collaborative, unified team. 

 

At Prose Architecture, we value curiosity, clarity, collaboration, and compassion, and holding these values is equally as important as any technical skills a team member could bring to the practice.

 

As a President and one-woman operation, I’m building a small-but-mighty team to continue to tell our clients’ stories as we continue to write our own.

about us

Prosers (that’s what we call our team members) are:

​

  • Curious - When presented with a problem, we channel our inner toddler and ask lots of questions. We listen actively and attentively.

​

  • Collaborative - We brainstorm ideas and create solutions for and with the client, centering them in the story. “What if we…” is a common introduction to a new idea.

​​

  • Clear - We are highly specific when articulating needs, wants, challenges, solutions, and expectations. We avoid muddy or ambiguous language.

​​

  • Compassionate - We seek and welcome new perspectives, and are flexible in our own. We are kind to ourselves and others, even on, and especially on, our worst days.
