Jourdan Whatley, RID

Jourdan Whatley is an interior designer at O’Brien Architects. Growing up in Dallas, TX, she initially dreamed of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader but found her calling in interior design. Earning her NCIDQ certification was a defining moment in her career, reinforcing her expertise in designing environments that enhance both productivity and well-being.

Known for her patience, attention to detail, and easygoing nature, Jourdan approaches each project with the belief that while you can give 100% every day, that 100% will look different depending on the day. 

Outside of work, Jourdan is an avid traveler with an ambitious goal—visiting all seven continents before her 35th birthday, with only Africa left on her list. But she also enjoys the simple pleasure of a staycation with a good book or a comfort movie.
