Salem, MA — Jones Architecture announced it has welcomed Lauren Arrington as project manager and Makayla Burkhart as designer.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Lauren and Makayla to the Jones team,” said Founder Rick Jones. “Lauren brings valuable experience and a strong understanding of how thoughtful design supports people and communities. Makayla has already demonstrated tremendous curiosity and enthusiasm through her time with us. Together, they reflect the collaborative culture and passion for architecture that define our firm.”
Arrington joins Jones Architecture with 12 years of industry experience, bringing a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to project delivery and a passion for creating spaces that improve people’s everyday experiences. “What drew me to Jones was the sense that design, collaboration and personality all coexist here,” Arrington said. “I am excited to join a team that values both good work and good people.”
Burkhart joins the firm full-time after completing two internships with Jones Architecture, building on her connection to the firm’s culture and approach. Initially attracted by Jones’ work in adaptive reuse, she says it was the people who ultimately drew her in. “Everyone seemed genuinely excited about architecture,” Burkhart said. “Interviewing wasn’t about whether I could do the work—it was about how I felt about design.”
