Ana Borgheriu is the newest addition to the JRJ team, interning in our Interiors/Finishes department until December. She will be graduating in May of 2024 with a Bachelors of Interior Design, a Minor in Construction Management and a Minor in Art from Washington State University.

With her sights set on a career in Interior Design for public spaces, Ana is excited to create environments where people can feel comfortable in places where they may have felt vulnerable in the past, such as Healthcare and Governmental/Municipal buildings.

Under the supervision of our Senior Interiors staff, Ana has joined teams working on a Med-Spa, X-Ray Fluoroscopy and Bone Densitometry rooms. She is also revitalizing our finishes library.

Ana is relatively new to the Portland are and is enjoying trying new places to eat, visiting art galleries and local festivals. An adventurer and risk-taker at heart, she also has a travel goal - to visit every country in Europe before she turns 30. So far, she has been to five. That sounds like a great time; can we come too!?

Jonah Nees joined us in late June as a summer intern. This University of Oregon Senior will be completing his Bachelors in Architecture in 2024.

With designs on a certification as a Passive Housing Consultant (CPHC), LEED GA and full AIA licensure, Jonah is most interested in the intersection of climate change and design. He is eager to develop solutions to environmental issues within the field of architecture.

JRJ has benefitted from Jonah's substantial skills in Revit modeling and graphic design. He was instrumental in developing fly-through models for several current projects in Radiology and IDF, as well as providing graphic element development for a recent RFP response (fyi - we won the RFP!)

Jonah enjoys exploring in the Pacific Northwest, be it hiking, backpacking, running, camping or biking. He recently returned from a family vacation in Glacier National Park and will be studying abroad in Italy and Switzerland this next Spring. We are hopeful that he can fit working with JRJ back into his busy schedule sometime soon!
