At Wayzata-based Mohagen Hansen, Jennifer Kaplan is the go-to person for projects with complex code issues. She can take a code challenge and find a responsive-design solution.

When Covid hit and projects went on hold, Kaplan led a team to increase design process efficiency through development of design standards. The team also focused on ways to better incorporate sustainable solutions into that process. She directs the firm’s activities relating to the American Institute of Architects’ 2030 Challenge, which seeks to make all new developments carbon-neutral by 2030.
