Jake Friesen, AIA, Senior Associate Jake brings over 20-years of experience in a wide variety of projects in which the acoustical environment is a primary consideration. As a registered architect, his expertise in the built environment including construction and project management in real estate development has taken him from the Mid-West to the Southeast, and most recently to Southern California.

His extensive day-to-day construction experience assures the acoustical details are constructed as intended resulting in a cost-effective comprehensive acoustical design. His background as a performing vocalist brings an overlay of understanding and practicality to his involvement with broadcast studio projects, as well as performing arts venues. Living in the greater Los Angeles area, Jake provides Acoustic Distinctions’ boots-on-the-ground presence on the West Coast.
