My Journey as an Immigrant Architect, by Jack Ossa, AIA

Jack Ossa is a versatile professional known for his roles as an architect, designer, and podcaster. Originally from Medellin, Colombia, he earned his architecture degree in Bogota before immigrating to the United States shortly after graduating. As a first-generation immigrant, Jack possesses the unique combination of bilingualism and biculturalism, which he leverages to foster positive change at the nexus of design, strategy, and technology.

Jack's journey led him to accumulate valuable experience at national and international design firms. Ultimately, he took a bold step toward realizing his lifelong dream by founding Ossa Studio, an Architecture and Brand Design Firm headquartered in Charlotte, NC. Through Ossa Studio, Jack and his team harness the transformative power of design to craft impactful experiences across various disciplines, including architecture, interior design, and branding.

In addition to his design endeavors, Jack hosts the podcast "The Power of Design." This podcast delves into the ever-evolving dynamics and trends that shape the vibrant world of architecture, construction, and real estate.
