Andy Jones

President - Founder

Andy Jones is the Founder and President of JCI Design, a company built on the belief that integrity and reputation are paramount. From the beginning, Andy has shaped JCI Design around a people-first philosophy—creating a company that takes care of its people while delivering exceptional results for its clients.

A quiet and confident leader, Andy is currently focused on business development and building lasting relationships with clients and partners. While his role continues to evolve, his passion for design remains at the heart of what he does. His experience and creativity in space planning allow him to help clients transform their ideas and needs into environments that are both functional and inspiring.

For Andy, building JCI Design has always been about more than creating a successful company. He has worked to create an organization with a lasting foundation—one that will support and develop future designers and industry leaders for many years to come. He believes great leadership also means knowing when to step back and give others the opportunity to lead. Andy actively encourages those around him to take the reins, grow their talents, and shape the future of the industry in their own way.

Outside of JCI Design, Andy is an avid pilot who flies his own Cessna Skyhawk. His passion for aviation has also become a way to inspire the next generation. Through his volunteer work with the Young Eagles organization, Andy shares his love of flying with young people and introduces them to the possibilities of aviation.

Andy also gives his time as a counselor at Camp Esperanza, a summer camp for children with cancer. His involvement reflects the same values that have guided his professional life: showing up for others, creating meaningful experiences, and making a lasting difference.

Whether designing creative environments, developing future leaders, flying, or giving back to his community, Andy is driven by a belief that success is measured not only by what you build, but by the people you help along the way.
