Owner
“Live the life you imagined” -Henry David Thoreau
Jill Hamblen is the owner and heart behind triARC architecture & design. Her love for architecture started young, inspired by her mother, a self-taught designer who nurtured Jill’s creativity early on. Jill earned her architecture degree from Drury University in Springfield, Missouri, and began her career working on a diverse range of projects—from children’s museums to schools.
Her deep connection to healthcare design grew from a personal place: the birth of her micro-preemie daughter, weighing just 1 pound, 14 ounces. Spending countless hours in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Jill witnessed firsthand how thoughtful, efficient, and warm spaces can truly impact healing for both patients and their families. This experience shaped her passion and expertise in creating spaces that are not only functional but inviting and beautiful.
Jill’s dedication to meaningful design and helping others bring their visions to life is the foundation of the close-knit, family-driven firm that triARC is today—and the reason our clients feel so inspired throughout every project.
