California’s Premier Building Design Studio
Most building projects stall before they ever break ground buried in permit delays, contractor markups, and drafting nobody signed off on. Our building design services carry your project from first sketch to final permit: drafting, 3D visualization, and everything it takes to build in California without the guesswork.

Comprehensive Service Catalog
12 design capabilities, one point of contact from custom single-family homes and commercial spaces to permit drafting and photorealistic 3D visualization, all built around California code.
Turnkey Execution & Clarity
No finger-pointing, no surprise change orders. Four milestones, one team accountable for every one of them.
We check setbacks, zoning overlays, and HOA rules before you spend a dollar on design so you know what’s actually buildable, upfront.
Your list of “must-haves” becomes a floor plan you can walk through in 3D before it’s locked in on paper.
We build the full construction set and sit through every round of city comments ourselves, until your permit is signed.
The drawings are yours 100%. Take them to as many contractors as you want and let them compete for your job.
The Turnkey Advantage
Here’s where most building projects actually fall apart: the handoff between the designer and the contractor. The designer says it’s a construction issue. The contractor says it’s a design issue. You’re stuck in the middle, and the clock and your budget keep running. Our design and build approach keeps drafting, permit navigation, and trade coordination under one roof, so there’s always one person accountable, from your first design consultation to groundbreaking.
Heritage, Leadership & Local Presence
Founded in 2014 , Jean-Prescott Studio is an independent California design studio built on precision drafting, spatial innovation, and clients who stay clients.
Jeannice Carrillo runs point on every project this design firm takes on over a decade of hands-on work in California zoning codes, coastal regulations, and construction planning. There’s no junior team quietly handling your file. If Jeannice’s name is on the proposal, Jeannice is on your design set, your 3D visualization, and your calls with the city.
Searching for a design center near me usually means one thing: you want someone who already knows your city’s building department, not someone learning it on your dime. We run on-site measurements, feasibility walkthroughs, and municipal meetings in person, across California.
