She is dedicated to collaboratively managing complex projects and skilled at driving large, specialized teams towards a focused common goal. This approach positions her clients at the centre of a process that is fuelled with energy, commitment and enthusiasm and carefully considers all architectural and programmatic objectives.

“I have a deep appreciation for Hamilton and its history. Both of my parents’ families settled in Hamilton upon immigration to Canada in the early 1900’s. I was born in Hamilton, and grew up in Ancaster and Dundas.” said Jennifer Mallard, Principal, Diamond Schmitt. “I have been fortunate to work on a variety of significant public buildings, shaping their civic spaces and their impact on their environments. Each of these projects engages the life of its surroundings in different ways, but all are part of a civic engagement process that is essential to the creation of vibrant cities. I’m honoured to contribute to the conversation about the future of the City of Hamilton.”
