George Jang is an individual with a deep-rooted connection to Los Angeles County and a passion for Architecture. Born and raised in Los Angeles, George spent his formative years in Downey before moving to Fullerton for High School, where his parents continue to reside. Throughout his adolescence, George actively contributed to his father’s small business in the city of Paramount on the weekends.
Education has been the cornerstone of George’s journey, and he proudly holds a professional bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona, having graduated in 2022. During his time at Cal Poly, he was interested in sustainable architecture and green building methods. He explored the integration of organic shapes and parametric design techniques seeking innovative ways to intertwine architecture with social justice and inclusion. Driven by his senior classmates, George participated in SoCal NOMAS (National Organization of Minority Architects), a student organization that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion within the architectural realm.
George began his career in the AEC field in Long Beach, working at Apex As-Builts for five years. This hands-on experience not only honed his skills as a designer but also deeply connected him to the vibrant Long Beach community, leaving a lasting impression on his architectural perspective.
Currently, George is proud to serve as an associate designer at Jeannette Architects, a small residential firm that has been an integral part of the Long Beach community for over 25 years. He is thrilled to work at a design firm that interacts closely with his neighbors and finds great joy in seeing projects he has contributed to take shape within the community. Through these connections, George hopes to raise awareness about reducing carbon footprints and inspire homeowners to build and live with a greener mindset.
George is actively involved with NOMA and the AAa/e Foundation, demonstrating his commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive architectural community. His passion for both his work and his community shines through in every endeavor he undertakes.
Residing in District 1 of Long Beach, George appreciates the city’s bike lanes and the promotion of alternative commuting options. He hopes to see these initiatives expanded and improved upon as part of a broader vision for the city. George continues to cherish his roots in Southern California, drawing inspiration for his creative pursuits from the region’s vibrant culture. With a vision for a more sustainable and interconnected architectural landscape, George Jang remains a passionate advocate for positive change.
