Jason Summers

Jason Summers joins The Goree Family of Companies as Associate Principal and will lead the firm’s Atlanta office. Beyond developing business and managing the office’s daily operations, Jason will spearhead the integration between Goree and Abel Design Group after their formal partnership in 2023.

A career spanning three decades including time at global firms, Jason has been responsible for an array of award-winning projects that redefined and advanced brand images. His branding and design expertise will expand The Goree Family of Companies’ services by incorporating client brand creation into the design of built environments and enable the creation of immersive spaces that not only embody a brand but also offer uniquely memorable experiences.

With a diverse background in architecture, interior design and branding, Jason’s portfolio connects multiple commercial sectors including corporate office, automotive, multifamily, retail banking, hospitality and mixed-use — all markets serviced by Goree’s 61-year legacy and Abel’s 23-year expertise. His holistic approach to design is a natural extension of his extensive and varied experience.

“For me, every lens I look through, is design — it’s the core to problem solving and innovation,” Jason said. “Everything we do involves creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. In addition to tangible spaces, design also applies to intangible concepts and systems. This holds true for integrating processes like The Goree Way with the Abel way of servicing clients, user interface and organizational structures.”
