Ferdinanda brings experience across a wide range of project types, including educational, cultural, hospitality, transportation, landscape, restoration, and residential work. With complementary backgrounds in architecture and civil engineering, she approaches design with a focus on balancing creative vision and real-world constraints, driven by environmental responsibility and sustainability.

She supports AltusWorks’ on-site construction management efforts for the CTA State and Lake Station. Her expertise contributes to the successful delivery of complex transit improvements like this one. Outside of work, Ferdinanda enjoys drawing and fashion design, as well as exploring Slovenia, spending time in nature, and discovering new vegan cuisine.

Jen rejoins AltusWorks, after nearly 20 years, to augment our preservation services by bringing extensive experience in historic preservation, building restoration, and repair projects throughout the country. She combines strong technical knowledge with an artistic approach to develop thoughtful, detailed repair solutions that balance existing construction with modern solutions.

She especially enjoys the hands-on aspects of field work, building documentation, and investigation, and has led project teams through all phases of each project to achieve successful outcomes. Beyond her professional work, Jen enjoys gardening, bike riding, traveling, and attending live music events.
