Eric Davenport, AIA
Founder and Principal Architect
Architecture is very personal to me. I design every space with the perspective of—Would I want to work here? Would I want my family to live here? I feel so much responsibility for designing spaces that profoundly affect people’s lives and livelihoods.
I founded LEAP Architecture to do business the way I want to. I strive to be socially and environmentally responsible, to be fair and respectful to clients and vendors, and to provide a good life for me and my family.
“Good design enhances people’s daily rituals. We strive to connect people with their surroundings through architecture.” -E. Davenport

Jason Noon-Damiani
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER
I pursued a position at LEAP Architecture because I saw a firm that took a holistic approach to community awareness, environmental justice and sustainable design. Before I began my career in architecture I worked in the fields of horticulture and sustainable agriculture. Plants and ecology are a life-long passion for me. I believe I bring a lot to LEAP in the areas of low-impact, environmentally responsive and ecologically responsive design. I maintain a gardening micro-business and a lifelong study of horticulture and ecology to hone my skills.
