About Jay

Jay Osborne is a lover of buildings. His invented word, amatect, is a contraction of "amateur architect", or "lover of building."

Before he had entered architecture school, Jay created hundreds of technical drawings for dozens of self-initiated architectural projects. To this day, he is still designing buildings that nobody commissions or assigns to him, a process he believes is the most creative, educational, and fulfilling way to learn about the art of building.

Jay currently lives in San Francisco, and works by day at an architecture firm.
