About

Hi there, I'm Jessica Cullen, Founder and Principal of Cullo Studio. I define myself as an interdisciplinary urbanist, playwright, and educator with a professional background that bridges architecture, planning, theatre, and pedagogy. Cullo Studio is the professional reconciliation of these diverse passions.

Alongside my work at Cullo Studio, I write for internationally acclaimed architecture office, MVRDV, and have previously worked in business development for Mecanoo Architecten.

Through Constructive Discourse (writing), Cullo Studio (design), and Togethercraft (facilitation), I aim to create spaces—both physical and discursive—that invite reflection, advance equity, and support collaborative approaches to shaping our built environment.
