Breaking Barriers: Ar. Gasambelo’s Journey in Architecture

Ar. Jennifer Gasambelo is a highly experienced architect with over 15 years of expertise in the field. Her professional journey commenced with a decade-long tenure at a prominent shopping center, where she encountered and conquered various challenges, significantly contributing to her growth in the architectural realm. 

Presently, Ar. Gasambelo heads her architecture firm, dedicated to catering to the diverse requirements of residential and commercial projects. Her firm also specializes in drafting and architectural design management, broadening the spectrum of their services.

Her passion for architecture can be traced back to her upbringing, influenced by her father, a skilled electrician and plumber. Despite initially aspiring for a career in the medical field, Ar. Gasambelo was drawn towards architecture due to her father’s profound expertise and guidance. Reflecting on her projects, she finds inspiration in her first independent project for a high school classmate, a successful collaborative effort that paved the way for additional projects through client referrals.

As a Filipina, Ar. Gasambelo considers her gender a significant advantage in the predominantly male-dominated architecture industry. Overcoming stereotypes and prejudices, she has honed her skills, accrued valuable experience, and developed a profound understanding of the industry. Surrounded by inspiring colleagues, both male and female, she is continually motivated to pursue her goals. 

Ar. Gasambelo is a firm believer that Filipino architects can challenge existing norms and achieve success through unwavering tenacity and dedication.
