Today, we learn about Jane Kratochvil, our Human Resources and Office Manager. Jane recently celebrated her twenty year anniversary with S2 – congratulations Jane!

What is your role with S2; how long have you been with the firm and what is your favourite part of your job?
I’m S2’s Human Resources and Office Manager and I recently celebrated my twentieth anniversary with the firm. I love the people that I work with, our culture, the opportunities for growth and professional development, and the support I receive from the Principals and my colleagues.

What have you learned about design/architecture from working at S2?
I am not involved in the design of a space – but I have learned that the design of a space has an impact on how you feel when you walk in – the lines, curves, fixtures, etc. I now look at a building / space differently and understand it from a different perspective.

I am proud of how S2 has become my second family, and how I have advanced in my career with S2 with the support of the partnership.
