Jorden Segraves
Our founder discovered his passion for architecture at thirteen, combining his love for the arts, analytical mindset, and appreciation for the environment. As an early leader in the United Green Building Council (USGBC), he helped drive the growth of the green building movement, leading to the adoption of the California Green Building Code and the National Green Building Standard.
Ohana Living was born in 2020 when the pandemic halted much of his architectural work, allowing him to rediscover his passion for sustainability. This period of reflection highlighted the importance of connection through disconnection and the idea that thinking small could offer big solutions for our future.
