For Jessica Brown, building has always been about more than buildings. With more than twenty-five years of experience spanning architecture, design, construction, development, and entrepreneurship as a founder and principal, her career has centered on transforming vision into reality through creative problem-solving, strategic planning, relationship building, and leadership. Her professional experience also includes commercial real estate and land development, business development, and capital raising.

Jessica is an alumna of the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, where she earned her degree in Interior Architecture with minors in Art and Spanish. She later pursued graduate studies in architecture at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Her multidisciplinary education shaped both her professional career and her enduring appreciation for the liberal arts, culture, and the ways in which each broadens our understanding of the world and one another.

For more than twenty years, Jessica has served nonprofit, charitable, cultural, educational, and faith-based organizations in volunteer and leadership capacities. Her Catholic faith is central to her life and includes an ongoing commitment to marriage and family ministry and a deep appreciation for Catholic education. She now brings her professional and service experience together as Development Manager at Catholic International University.

Known for her warmth, enthusiasm, and zest for life, Jessica loves people, the arts, cultural traditions, travel, and experiencing the world through its food and celebrations. She and her husband are raising their three sons in Houston, Texas, whose remarkable international character feels especially fitting for her work on behalf of a global Catholic university.

At the heart of Jessica’s life are faith, family, service, and a genuine love of bringing people together.
