Jenna Fribley, AIA Named AIA Citizen Architect

In another life, Jenna Fribley must have been an archeologist or historian, but today she is an architect, interior designer, teacher, realtor, commissioner, board member, entrepreneur, and community advocate. After establishing her own firm in Springfield, Oregon, Fribley has become a relentless force behind the revitalization of downtown Springfield. Through her firm and activism, she has worked to excite community members about Springfield’s history—and its future. As a citizen architect, Fribley also has helped address the region’s affordable housing shortage.

Jenna Fribley is principal and co-founder of Campfire Collaborative: Architecture & Design, a Springfield, Oregon–based firm that received the AIA Northwest and Pacific Region 2020 Emerging Firm Award. Fribley earned her M.Arch from the University of Oregon, where she is now a career instructor. She is past president of AIA Southwestern Oregon and currently serves on the Lane County Intergovernmental Housing Policy Board, Springfield Historic Commission, Springfield History Museum Committee, and the board of the Springfield Renaissance Development Corporation. A co-founder of the Booth Kelly Makers District, Fribley was named the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce’s Emerging Leader in 2019, an award that recognizes an individual who has risen to prominence through community engagement and demonstrates a great potential to positively impact the Springfield community for years to come.
