Jamie Intervalo, AIA, LEED AP BD+C
Jamie is an experienced project manager and architect with 15 years of practice in the San Diego area. Her passion and dedication to advancing the profession through advocacy has provided an abundance of opportunities for the pipeline of future architects in our region.
Jamie received her Master of Architecture from the NewSchool of Architecture and Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies and Planning from the University of California, San Diego. As Director of BNIM’s Pacific Studio, Jamie guides project teams and serves as a key point of contact for clients within the key market sectors of higher education, workplace, equitable housing, and urban planning.
Jamie is a mentor and advocate for future emerging professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. She utilizes her work with AIA San Diego to elevate and support a culture of equity within the profession. As AIA San Diego's first director of Equity Diversity, Inclusion and Justice, Jamie guided and advanced the chapter’s initiatives for EDI+J, introducing important dialogues on gender, ethnicity, race, and inclusion and establishing EDI+J fundamentals as part of the chapter’s strategic plan and functions. She has also advanced the collaboration between other AIA chapters across the country and organizations such as NOMA, SDAF and ACE Mentor to elevate thought leadership on these types of issues. Her work with the local chapter has also extended chapter resources to community college networks in the cross border region to broaden the outreach for future emerging professionals in the pipeline.
She believes that, as citizen architects, the design community has the power to change lives not only through design but also through advocacy. Jamie focuses her efforts in the chapter around elevating social justice issues via contributing to the intellectual conversation, providing a platform to empower and share ideas from other minority communities as well as contributing to the future pipeline of architects.
Join us on November 16th, 2022 as we celebrate the achievements and impact of architects in our community at the Lifetime achievement, Legacy, and Young Architect of the Year Awards.
