Jamie Ferreras Joins CCD Design Firm

We are thrilled to welcome Jamie to our team as an Architectural Student! Originally from Georgia, Jamie is currently in her 5th year at Mississippi State University’s School of Architecture, where she is also double minoring in Historic Preservation and Interior Design.

Throughout her time at MSU, Jamie has made significant contributions, including curating galleries focused on raising awareness for marginalized communities. She has conducted research on vernacular architecture and modern building systems in Latin America, as well as studied the impact of eviction on residents in Starkville, Mississippi. This work has fueled her passion for urban design, particularly in creating equitable spaces.

In addition to her academic pursuits, Jamie has been actively involved in organizations such as LSA, TSD, Women in Architecture, and NOMAS. Outside of her career interests, she leads an active lifestyle and will be joining our firm’s newly formed tennis team! Her future ambitions may include licensure in architecture or pursuing a master’s degree in urban design. She is excited to grow with us and learn from our talented design professionals.

Hinds CC / Bridgwater & Taunton College Student Visit

“Jared Pierce and Kirk Oldenburg presented to visiting students from Bridgwater and Taunton College in England (yes, the United Kingdom England!). The presentation focused on the process of a typical CCD project, specifically focusing on the B.B. King Museum in Indianola, MS which the students would later visit as part of their U.S. itinerary. The B.B. King Museum, which won an AIA Mississippi Honor Award, was a great introduction to working with a unique program, renovation of an existing (and historic) structure, and a new construction addition. CCD was also honored to return to the museum site and design the memorial garden where B.B. King is laid to rest. Following the presentation, the students got to tour CCD’s office and learn more about how the firm operated. They especially liked learning the history of the CCD building renovation and the rooftop deck drew lots of photos! The visit closed after a short walk to Hal & Mal’s where the students enjoyed gumbo and fried catfish po-boys.”
