Long ago, a migration path to the ocean was blocked leaving salmon
isolated to a single lake. These unlucky few evolved into the Kokanee salmon. Regardless of their setback,
they still managed to build a thriving population that has been going strong for the past 10,000
years.
We operate with the same tenacity as the Kokanee, never allowing our work or purpose to be
restricted. With the use of interactive design technology and constant reliable communication, we have been
successful in every project we’ve taken on. We attend annual conferences and take continuing education courses
to stay on top of the latest codes, design trends, and construction techniques.
A native of Idaho, Jake came from the resort community of McCall, Idaho, where he worked exclusively on custom homes and began to understand out of the box construction solutions. Ready for the opportunity to break out on his own, Jake moved his family to New Braunfels in late 2013. Standing by his mission and the dedication he has to each client has paid off. By fall, 2017, he was so immersed with new clients that he opened a small office in town and eventually brought on his now business partner, Ariel Harris. In May of 2019, Jake achieved becoming a Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) through the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD). Jake’s pride inspires him to always be thorough and accurate on each project.
“At the end of the day, we are only as good as our reputation and the quality of work. We can’t and will not hide from our responsibilities to our clients.”
Ariel didn’t begin on a path toward custom home design, but it found her all the same. While working at an unfulfilling career in event management, she remembered the passion she shared with her father for architectural design. In search of this new adventure, Ariel met Jake, and eventually joined the Kokanee team in early 2018 as an office manager. Driven to learn more and express her creativity, she quickly honed in on a talent for the design process and began with learning to draw the construction details. Since then she has continued to develop her creative skills in home design and regularly assists in the design take-offs. Aside from continuing to grow with the business, Ariel is working towards her AIBD certification.
“I am excited for the challenge. I love that I’m constantly learning and that I still get to be creative in my work.”
