Jeanne Liem realized her passion for architecture when she was 10 years old. She had her M.Arch. degree (cum laude) from UT Arlington. She is currently a licensed architect in the State of California, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP), and a professional member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Since she moved her practice to San Diego in 2013, Ms. Liem has established an extensive clientele and network of professionals. She has solid experience with the coastal and construction permit processes for residential and ADUs.
Ms. Liem has strong artistic and technical capabilities that are invaluable for every project. She is thorough with her work and always aims to produce great quality design and drawings. Her interpersonal skills ensure outstanding customer service and an enjoyable experience throughout.
Ms. Liem is particularly interested in climate-responsive, eco-friendly architecture, and feng-shui. She also loves pursuing her passion for art and crafts in her leisure time.
Jeanne is very efficient, excellent at communication, organized and helpful in the design phase. We are converting a open bonus room to a living/bedroom with a full bathroom and wanted to maximize the space plus have flexibility for the future. Jeanne helped us do that and the process to get a permit approval was very smooth, pricing was transparent, and she's available if you need any answers. She also works well with our builder. Definitely reach out to Jeanne for your projects.

Jeanne was a pleasure to work with. She did an amazing job listening to our ideas for our renovation and turning them into our final project. She is a clear communicator and highly responsive, we felt like we always had an idea of where our project was at in the design process. We successfully submitted our permits with very, very minor comments from the city. She knows her stuff. She helped connect us with our contractor who told us she is one of the best architects in San Diego to work with and that she is highly knowledgeable at what she does. We highly recommend her!

We had an excellent experience working with Jeanne Liem on the design of our ADU and home remodel project. From our first meetings, it was clear that she is extremely thoughtful, detail-oriented, and passionate about her work. She took the time to really understand what we wanted for our home and consistently came up with creative and clever design ideas. One thing that really stood out was how responsive and communicative she was throughout the entire process. Any time we had questions or concerns, she responded quickly and always made us feel supported and informed. Since this was our first time taking on a major remodel and ADU project, there were a lot of things we didn’t know going in,...

My family and I are currently working with Jeannie on a secondary project, 10 years after the first time we worked together, as she was the architect on my parents' major Windansea remodel years ago. Now that it is time for my husband and I to build our home, we knew without a doubt Jeannie would be the architect for our project. Jeannie is a true professional. Not only is she extremely detail-oriented, but she does a great job listening in detail to all of the nuances we are interested in incorporating into our home, then suggests thoughtful ways we can achieve our desired results. I really appreciate Jeannie's ability to flex to the clients' tastes as well. My parents home leans more tr...

We could not be more pleased with the exceptional work our architect provided throughout the design process for our daughter’s new home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, efficiency, and organization that made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach to every aspect of the design and layout truly set her apart. She carefully listened to our ideas, understood our vision, and transformed it into a beautifully functional plan that perfectly balances style, comfort, and practicality. Every space was designed with purpose, flow, and long-term livability in mind. ...
