About

How To Create A Lasting Business Partnership After starting their architecture businesses separately, Camille Jobe and Ada Corral each discovered how starved they were for someone else to be a part of their creative process. In each other, they found similar design sensibilities, but different skill sets. Forming Jobe Corral Architects allowed the pair to take on bigger, bolder projects together. “Everyone has something in their job that they say, ‘If I never had to do that again, I’d be pretty happy.’ Ada and I had opposite pieces of work that fell into that category,” Camille said. “In a way it was a big relief that there was somebody else who wanted to take that on and do a great job with it.” Since the inception of Jobe Corral Architects, the pair has put an emphasis on affecting the fabric of the Austin community. Both have taught at the University of Texas, made the cut for neighborhood favorite Tribeza, become professionals of some of the most unique building methods from history (look up rammed earth), and received two awards from the prestigious group, Preservation Austin. Additionally, Ada was recently honored as a recipient of an Austin’s “Top 40 Under 40” award. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Camille and Ada talk about how to create a lasting business partnership. We discuss establishing credibility through published work, knowing how much detail is needed at each step of a project, and enhancing the built environment one brick at a time. Ada and Camille also share special upcoming showcases of their work in print!
