About Us
Design Group JEDI is a Chicago-based, MBE-certified professional Design Firm working across architecture, construction, and real estate.
Led by licensed architect Chuks Okwuje, AIA, NCARB.
JEDI helps owners understand buildings, manage regulatory and construction risk, and execute improvements with greater clarity.
Our work spans adaptive reuse, multifamily, commercial office, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, retail, residential, and community-serving properties.
Our value is not simply that we work across disciplines.
It is that we understand how code, constructability, operations, and capital affect the same decision.
Our Culture
JEDI is also being built as an ESOP-oriented design firm. That means we are intentionally developing a culture where team members think like stewards, not just employees. We want the
people who help build the firm to grow in responsibility, technical judgment, leadership, and eventually ownership thinking.
JEDI is developing a culture in which team members grow in responsibility, technical judgment, leadership, and long-term ownership thinking.
