From an early age, Jesse Gard was designing spaces. He didn’t realize it at the time, but the sketches filling his childhood notebooks were early glimpses of a future career. Jesse is finishing his 3rd year as an Interior Architecture BFA student. During his time here at Chico State, Jesse has worked for Professor Rouben Mohuiddin at his design firm, Design SI. “Jesse is a dedicated, caring, and reliable individual. I first met him as a student and later brought him into a professional role through an internship, where he became a key contributor to projects and community outreach, gaining a strong understanding of design’s impact,” said Mohiuddin. He has also worked with Professor Kijeong Jeon on a sensory room design for children with autism at the Far Northern Regional Center in Redding. “That project was really meaningful” he said. “It showed me how design can directly impact people’s lives.
