Jason J. Thompson, partner
Jason Thompson is the Principal Designer and founder of Rissay, Ltd.  If
you’ve done business with Rissay, you’ve already benefited from Jason’s
expertise -- he oversees the firm’s total operations. From first customer
contact through job completion and follow-up, he helps ensure the high
quality, safety and performance you’d expect from a leading firm. In
addition, Jason brings a wealth of knowledge to the Design-Build arena
for clients.

Jason's interest in design was first sparked during his high school years
in his home town of Las Vegas after a successful builder-turned-architect
friend of his family’s noticed Jason’s ability to communicate through
exceptionally well drawings, strongly encouraged him to pursue design.
What was once seen as only a hobby to Jason, propelled him into the
formal study of fine art and eventually, architecture.  Jason graduated from
Philadelphia University, (formerly Philadelphia Textiles), with a B.A in
Architecture and worked for a busy, commercial and residential firm for
several years before later joining with partner, Scott McLeer to form
Rissay.

More often than not, designers seldom see their work fully executed.
Some can often spend years on a design that may never make it off
paper. It was with this realization and a growing interest in construction
that prompted Jason to make his work more tangible by founding Rissay,
Ltd., a firm that not only designs but can build in one single act.

Taking cues from the project site, listen intently to clients, and conducting
thorough research before putting pencil to paper are all part of Jason’s
practice. During the construction phase, he helps to ensure the accurate
execution of the design. This attention to detail helps Rissay meet, and
exceed, client expectations.

Today Jason takes pride in knowing that most of Rissay’s current projects
are referrals from former clients, return customers or admirers of his and
Scott’s work throughout the Philadelphia area. Scores of happy home and
business owners eagerly recommend Rissay to neighbors, co-workers,
friends and family.

construction Scott is cross-disciplined and carries an abundance of

Scott spent many long hours working behind the scenes during his
culinary career while wearing a variety of hats from dishwasher, to chef at
a four-star luxury inn, management, and lastly opening restaurants.

management in order to flow seamlessly without having to rework,
interrupt, or experience downtime. He has the natural ability to manage
