Blair Pettigrew, AIA is a licensed architect and LEED Green Associate with over 25 years of experience in the design and management of high-end, custom modern residences. He studied architecture at Washington University in St. Louis and began his career at the esteemed Lubowicki Lanier Architects in El Segundo, followed by a formative tenure at the multidisciplinary firm Rios Clementi Hale Studios in Hollywood.
Blair quickly earned a reputation as a thoughtful, creative designer with strong technical skills in detailing and construction administration. His clarity in communication and leadership ability placed him in key management roles early in his career. In 2009, he was engaged exclusively by a prominent Hollywood family to lead the design and management of their projects, also serving as their trusted owner’s representative. This unique perspective—designing from the owner’s point of view—has deeply informed his approach to architecture.
In 2017, Blair founded CigoL Architecture, a firm grounded in the values of communication, trust, creativity, and leadership. He continues to push the profession forward by integrating advanced 3D modeling technologies to enhance green building practices, streamline documentation, and improve client visualization throughout the design process.
Jill Kumamoto has an eye for spatial relationships, form, color, and texture that inform every aspect of her life, including her architectural designs.
Jill has more than 25 years of experience managing retail and commercial projects of all sizes and shapes in cities all over the world, including from Santa Monica, Paris, Shanghai, and Dubai. Even when working in her first architectural firm while attending the University of Southern California, her skills in management became evident. She excels at foresight, planning, and communication which brought her to awarding winning firms such as Gruen Associates and J.T. Nakaoka Associates Architects where she is the Director of Production and Project Management.
She prides herself in clarity of communication and becomes a valuable ally to all parties in projects. Her natural “judgment free” demeanor “oils” communication lines and helps bolster another one of her core values, that the most successful projects are those that are conceived and executed out of a team effort.
