Jennifer grew up in Wisconsin and went on to study architecture and sustainable design at the University of Minnesota. While at the U of M she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture with a Minor in Spanish, a Masters of Architecture, and was a member of the Dance Team.

Jennifer began her career interning at SALA Architects, a Twin-Cities based architecture firm specializing in residential design. Three years later she made the jump to Southern California, and spent the following 7 1/2 years at KAA Design Group, where her love for residential architecture grew stronger and more defined. After her first daughter was born she accepted a job in Malibu, acting as a general contractor for one of the houses she had helped to design with her previous firm. The following 3-year stint in construction helped to solidify her love of residential design, and added a breadth of job-site expertise that she now finds invaluable in her architectural career.

Jennifer began with Burdge and Associates in January of 2015, and became an Associate at the firm in 2018. Her tenure at BAA has afforded her the opportunity to help develop countless Burdge “works of art”, and she is endlessly grateful for the experiences and opportunities BAA has provided over the years. In 2020 Jennifer was promoted to President of BAA.

Jennifer currently lives in Moorpark, CA where she enjoys soaking up every spare moment with her husband, Steve, and 2 daughters Charlie and Andi.
