Herman Jack Ajamian

October Spotlight

Herman Jack Ajamian has resided in the City of Fountain Valley for almost forty years. He attended Arizona State University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture & Design.  While attending ASU, he was assigned a project that required him to be confined to a wheelchair for an entire day.  It was then that he realized how critical accessibility was for every person.  Since then, it has been his goal to make projects accessible, whether required or not, and in the end, to do everything in his power to make building as accessible as possible for those with disabilities.  As the owner of a boutique architecture and design firm, @kobra_design, he believes that “just because something isn’t required doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done.” 

Herman lives in Fountain Valley with his wife and three children and has been a member of the City of Fountain Valley Advisory Committee for Persons with Disabilities since 2015.  He applied for the Committee equipped with an extensive knowledge of the ADA, multiple versions of building codes and Herman is also a former member of the City of Fountain Valley Planning Commission.
