Jennifer Graham

D.F.A. (Hon), FIIDA, LEED AP
Principal, Workplace, New York

Jennifer Graham has delivered multiple award-winning, high-profile projects for over 30 years. Her success comes from her special approach to project management that builds mentorship into the process. She creates and upholds a supportive, positive, and empathetic work environment for her teams. She received an honorary doctorate from the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID) in May, her alma mater. 

As a bold champion for DEI, social purpose and sustainability, Jennifer brings these issues to the forefront in her client work and community service. In 2009, she founded LMNOP NYC, Inc., an organization that offered networking and affordable continuing education credits to designers. Following LMNOP’s acquisition by IIDA NY, she currently serves as IIDA NY’s Vice President of Action and 2021 Catalyst Chair.

 Native to Barbados, the influence of Jennifer’s beloved family and the values they shared are evident in everything she does; from ultimately fulfilling her father’s own dream of working in architecture and following his dedication to serve; to epitomizing the resolve and relentless pursuit of knowledge passed on through her grandmother. 

Her character and record demonstrate her advocacy and commitment to both the design and global communities.
