About Her
Jennifer Evans stands out with her determination and passion in striving towards perfection. She works hard to walk the path that leads to new and interesting experiences, more knowledge and great connections with fantastic people.
Born in 1987, Jennifer is a resilient and creative designer with a powerful drive that sees her take on projects and assignments with a sense of purpose and natural drawing flair.
Having worked within a team in practice as well as on the course, Jennifer is a keen team player: "Her generosity in sharing her expertise and her time were unique in my experience and I doubt I would have achieved what I did without her support and friendship." Amanda Briggs, Operations Director at GSE Research Limited.
When Jennifer is not glued to a computer screen or sketchbook, you'll find her out and about: usually mountain biking, motorbiking, camping, visiting family or having a good laugh with friends.
Please feel free to browse her portfolio and, should you have any questions or simply wish to meet her, get in touch.

October 2017 - July 2018
The University of Manchester (UoM) and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) formed a Partnership to fund for the £2.6m refurbishment of the existing Sugden Sport Centre in Manchester.

- Phase 2A - Changing rooms, toilet facilities, server room and plant room
- Phase 2B and 2C - Heavy weights and gym area on ground floor
- Phase 3 - Changing rooms (coincide with Phase 2B and 4) and relocation of gym equipment
- Phase 4 - Reception atrium, upper mezzanine accommodation and spin studio
