Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Salena earned her Bachelor’s of Architecture from Mississippi State University in 2014. Her passion for design began in childhood, inspired by A. Hayes Town and a keen sensitivity to the emotional resonance of architecture. She has long understood how thoughtful design can elevate everyday living, shaping the spaces where our lives unfold and our memories take root.

Upon graduation, Salena trained with ArchitectureWorks and Nequette Architecture & Design, spending six years focused on high-end residential work. In 2021, she founded her own firm, where she continues to specialize in small and large-scale renovations as well as new construction projects across Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas.
