Jennifer Duclett

Interim Foundation Director
MADWORKSHOP

Jennifer Duclett has a 40-year history in architectural business development, assisting both Los Angeles-based and national firms in securing project commissions over the course of her career. These firms have included SOM, AC Martin, Dworsky Associates (now Cannon Design), Perkins&Will, and others. 

Her affinity for writing has brought opportunities to help architects successfully pursue FAIA designations and design awards, and refine manuscripts for publication.

As an undergraduate, Jennifer attended the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS) in New York City. This immersive experience provided her a new perspective on architectural education and practice, and the profession’s responsibility to society and nature. She earned a Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree from Scripps College in 1984. 

Jennifer’s interest in desert life led her to become a certified botany volunteer with the State of California. Her activities in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County include conducting plant tours, helping to eradicate invasive species, and cataloging specimens in the State Park’s herbarium.
