Jenn Chen, WELL AP

Principal Interior Designer
LMN Architects
Seattle, Washington

Jenn is an interior designer with a focus on how design decisions impact human and environmental health. In addition to planning and designing interior environments that promote health and wellbeing while enhancing the human experience, she is also passionate about the role interiors play in a building’s overall environmental impact. Jenn led a case study that quantifies the overall embodied carbon of cyclical interior renovations at LMN where the result was published by Metropolis, and she continues to look for ways to lower the embodied carbon impact of interiors over a building’s lifetime. She is on the Materials and Health Research group within the firm and helped launch a finish material library vetting process and a new waste stream process within the office. Her analysis of the impact of spatial qualities on human experiences led to the development of a metric for calculating curricular value of social interaction spaces.
