Senior Associate

Jena Lester is a Colorado native with deep roots in the state she proudly calls home. After growing up in Colorado, she ventured to the Southeast to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. There, she graduated Summa Cum Laude, earning both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Architecture.

Jena returned to Colorado in 2006 and began her professional journey in architecture. In 2011, she joined the Davis team, where she has truly found her niche. Since then, she has contributed to a wide range of project types spanning healthcare, commercial, multi-family, hospitality, and aerospace sectors—bringing creativity, precision, and heart to everything she works on. With over a decade at Davis and more than 19 years in the field, Jena has developed a well-rounded architectural expertise and a reputation for thoughtful, impactful design.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and taking advantage of Colorado’s great outdoors—hiking, skiing, and gardening whenever she gets the chance.
