About Jason Granado

I’m a site designer and technical studio lead with 15+ years of experience translating big ideas into buildable designs. From site planning and 3D visualization to CAD automation and studio operations, I bring a maker\'s mindset and an engineer’s precision to every project.I’ve led cross-functional teams, streamlined workflows, and contributed to high-profile developments across the country and as well as internationally. My strength lies in blending creativity with constructability — bridging the gap between design intent and technical execution.Outside of work, I’m a father, fabricator, and creator. Whether I’m turning a wrench, restoring old furniture, or mentoring junior designers, I thrive on making — and helping others make.Let’s connect if you\'re building a studio, a team, or a better way to bring great design to life.
