20 Questions with Architect Jane Snyder, AIA

After requisite formal training — undergraduate work at the University of Florida and an advanced degree from the University of Pennsylvania — and plenty of time broadening her perspective overseas — in Vicenza, Italy, and at the American University of Paris — Jane Snyder now orchestrates a team of creative professionals, Mosaic Architects & Interiors. With offices in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Vail, and Boulder, they specialize in custom homes, estates, and interior design, among other services.

Above all, Snyder maintains a deep love for the process of design and enjoys helping people feel comfortable in their homes by bringing their creative visions to life. And as you’ll see below, Snyder also has a warm place in her heart for Italian hillsides, cherished sketchbooks, and a certain man in a red suit.
