Jeff Knighton AIA NCARB | Founder + Principal Architect

Raised in Provo Utah, Jeff had the desire to draw and create at a young age, and decided as a kid that he wanted to become an architect. In high school he took an advanced architectural drafting course, where he designed his first project – a new custom home for his parents – and then helped to build it the following summer.

The experience of taking something imagined in the mind and turning it into a built reality that enhanced someone else’s life was life-changing and set the hook for Jeff. He went on to study Urban Planning at Brigham Young University, and then pursued a master’s degree in Architecture at the University of Oregon, also earning a graduate certificate in Ecological Design. After studying and working in the Northwest for several years, he moved back to Utah to live closer to family and set out to create his own architectural practice that focused on creative and meaningful projects, strong client relationships, and a collaborative family-like environment.

He is a father of five busy kids, and a colon cancer survivor (diagnosed the same year he started his own business). He serves as a planning commissioner for Vineyard City. He is passionate about getting outside and exploring the natural world with his family. He also loves to play his guitar and dreams of writing and recording his own music.
