San Diego Drafting & Design is a residential-focused design studio specializing in custom homes, ADUs, remodels, and thoughtfully crafted living environments. The studio operates at the intersection of architecture, construction, and experiential design—bringing ideas from concept to build with clarity and precision. We partner with licensed Structural Engineers to assure the safety and integrity of everything we design & build.
Who we are…..
The studio is led by an Architectural Design Specialist with over 20 years of experience in drafting and design. The studio maintains a high level of proficiency in digital drafting, construction documentation, 3D modeling, and photorealistic visualization, along with having professional experience in residential design, design-build environments, and construction.
With a foundation rooted in both design and hands-on building, the work is informed by a deep understanding of how projects are not only envisioned, but executed. This includes experience across all phases of project development, from early concept design through construction documentation, permitting, and coordination.
Our approach is grounded in leadership, communication, and the ability to guide complex ideas into clear, buildable solutions. The studio places a strong emphasis on workflow efficiency, client relationships, and collaborative project delivery, often working closely with contractors, engineers, consultants, and design collaborators to ensure alignment from design through construction.
Every project is approached with attention to detail and a focus on creating spaces that feel intentional, functional, and emotionally resonant. The work is grounded in technical precision and a passion for design that elevates everyday living environments.

Jacob Nabozny | Founder & Lead Architectural Designer
Megan Verissimo | Project Manager & Interior Design Collaborator
Jacob leads the architectural vision, design development, drafting, and construction documentation for the studio. His work is centered around thoughtful spatial planning, structural engineering, clear communication, and the creation of design solutions that are both highly intentional and buildable. With experience spanning concept design, consultant coordination, permitting, and construction-focused documentation, he brings a balanced perspective that connects creative vision with real-world execution.
Megan contributes project leadership, construction coordination, and interior design insight to projects that benefit from a more integrated design and management approach. Her background in project management and interior design strengthens the studio’s ability to support clients through decision-making, contractor coordination, and the refinement of interior spaces, materials, and finishes. Her involvement brings an added layer of organization, clarity, and cohesion throughout the project experience.
