Jordan Scott
FOUNDER EMERITUS
EXECUTIVE ADVISOR
“For me, it has always been about vision. First, it’s about the vision for what a property can be – aesthetically and artistically. That’s where it all starts – the power to create experiences that move people. It’s also about the vision of what kind of company I wanted to create. I’m so proud of all of the passionate and talented teammates that I get to work with every day. The ultimate vision is being able to look at the property through the eyes of my clients. From seeing the unrealized opportunity at first to seeing the joy of our clients in their finished spaces– that’s what I find most inspiring about what we get to do.”
