John D Anderson, Founder, Principal, NCARB.
John is a 1988 graduate from the University of Minnesota College of Architecture with a Bachelors degree in Architecture.
After interning for 5 years at a noted local firm, designing several freelance projects, and a year in a small design Atelier in Paris, France, John returned to the United States in 1992 to establish JDA Design Architects.
With nearly 2 decades of practical experience, John brings an intuitive vision to the design process. Though primarily a residential design office, JDA Design also is experienced in retail, multifamily, and hospitality building types.
John’s role as principal stretches many boundaries. An honest believer in the collaborative design process, he takes on many roles from business development to CAD drafting. “ All Niters” are still a reality!
John’s work & that of JDA Design Architects has been published on several occasions, including Midwest Home & Garden, and the Star Tribune’s Home & Garden section.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, John is returning to the places he remembers well. JDA Design opened a satellite office along the shores of Deep Creek Lake, in western Maryland in the fall of 2004.
John is certified by the National Council of
Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), and is licensed in 3 states including Minnesota & Maryland

Prior to graduate school, Amanda earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the U of M in 2002. She was named an associate at JDA Design in the Spring of 2005.
