Jordan Mozer and Associates, Ltd is an internationally celebrated architecture and design firm founded in 1984. JMA takes pride in work that is personal, inter-disciplinary, seamless and highly customized, with most every detail manufactured locally.
For more than twenty five years, JMA’s team of architects, designers, project managers and storytellers have collaborated with clients as varied as Disney, Barney’s, Marriott, George Lucas, Volkswagen, Asprey, Steve Wynn, Lettuce Entertain You and the Rolling Stones to create unique hospitality, entertainment, residential and retail projects throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. During this time JMA’s work has been consistently included in worldwide press, books, galleries, museums and both public and private collections.
JMA designs new buildings, adapts existing ones, creates interiors, objects, industrial designs and graphics, and provides full branding services. Founder and creative lead Jordan Mozer also creates myriad artworks including drawings, paintings, sculptures and murals. He makes no distinction between objects and art, giving the same level of attention and artistry to façades, light fixtures and logos as he does to his personal artwork.
To infuse commercial projects with idiosyncratic personalities and ensure both originality and conceptual consistency, JMA invents and manufactures most design components including furniture, lighting, hardware, architectural elements, artwork and graphics. JMA has planned small cities and large kitchens, and manufactures most products in the Chicago area.
Residential projects begin with establishing a deep understanding of our client’s lifestyle, interests and needs. We create custom furniture, millwork, objects and art and incorporate contemporary and historic pieces sourced from showrooms, galleries, auctions, and artists throughout the world.
In all projects whether public or private, JMA’s clients are a fully engaged, integral part of the design process.
JMA’s three partners, Jordan Mozer, Karen Lilly Mozer and Jeff Carloss, collaborate on projects as well as business practices and strategies, while holding distinct responsibilities within the firm:
Jordan spearheads design of public projects, client development, marketing and public relations.
Karen leads residential design, art consulting, Mozer Studio sales and licensing opportunities.
Jeff directs and oversees all of the architectural and manufacturing teams.
