For a short time, many years ago, I had a real job.  I don’t recommend it – the regular hours, steady paycheck, weekends at home…

My last real job ended when I had enough moonlighting work to open my own small office in the attic of our early 1900’s brick Queen Anne home in German Village.  Twenty-six steep steps from the street to my office was a daily workout, but it was the change from corporate clients to working with homeowners at the kitchen table that really got my heart racing.

And that’s still my passion today.

After the German Village home, Karen and I moved to a 1971 bi-level home in Dublin, Ohio, on a nice bit of land near an empty parcel that eventually became home to an excellent elementary school.

My name is Jamee Parish.  Rich and I have worked together for about 12 years or so.  I am a Columbus native, so I’m glad I could find such a perfect fit for me here in town!

I have always known that I wanted to be an architect (residential in particular!).  My dad and I used to take bike rides to a nearby neighborhood that was under construction.  I loved seeing the homes going up and walking through them; I knew then that I wanted to be the one designing them.

I now live in Clintonville with my husband, Brad, and my dachshund, Oscar.  Our house has been (and continues to be) a real “fixer-upper”, but we have a lot of fun working on it.  I like to, affectionately, call portions of our house “a very Brady home”… and it truly is!
