Jesse Hall, RA

Project Architect

Jesse gained his first working experience in the built environment by reading the blueprints sprawled across his dad’s tailgate, preparing the earth for the architecture to follow. He would go on to The Ohio State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture with honors. Jesse is a registered architect who has practiced in Cleveland, Seattle, and Austin. Throughout his journey, he has gained experience from master planning town center developments to retail tenant improvement. And in the residential sphere, he has worked to design and manage everything from remodels to multi-million dollar estates.

Dany earned her Professional Bachelor of Architecture degree from ITESO, Instituto Superior de Estudios Superiores de Occidente. While living in Guadalajara, she worked at Estudio Macias Peredo, focusing on single-family and multi-family residential and commercial. Dany believes in creating poetic architecture by blurring the boundary between emotions and spatial experiences. 

Zumi

Office Manager

Zumi is an essential part of the team at coXist. Her excitement to come to work each day motivates us all to work a little harder. She is extremely dedicated to her job at notifying us when we have a guest or when the mail is being delivered. While she has not yet mastered the ability to make coffee, she makes up for this short fall with sheer enthusiasm. Her ability to tackle any task regardless of her lack in stature is inspiring to all.
