Jared Abraham is a faculty member at the Yale School of Architecture and a Postgraduate Associate at the Yale Urban Design Workshop (YUDW). Since its founding, the YUDW has worked with communities across the state of Connecticut, providing planning and design assistance on projects ranging from comprehensive plans, economic development strategies and community visions to the design of public spaces, streetscapes and individual community facilities. Clients include small towns, city neighborhoods, planning departments, Chambers of Commerce, community development corporations, citizen groups, and private developers.

At YUDW, Jared has worked on several projects including Resilient Bridgeport, an offshoot of the federally funded Rebuild by Design competition held in the aftermath of hurricane Sandy. The Resilient Bridgeport project represents a collaborative urban design process to mitigate against risks posed by climate change and urban deterioration. 

Prior to joining YUDW, Jared worked as an Associate at Allied Works Architecture, LLC, a multi award winning firm based in Portland, Oregon and New York City. As an Associate, Jared was responsible for leading the design of several major projects including The United States Embassy, Maputo, Mozambique; the Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum, Columbus, Ohio; the Sokol Blosser Winery, Dundee, Oregon; and the PNCA Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, Portland, Oregon. Jared has also worked as a Designer at Cosmarq Arquitectos in Madrid, Spain, where he collaborated on the design of a new research facility for the European Space Agency.
