Jeffrey lives on Bainbridge Island with his wife, two boys and assorted animals. He started building models at age five and knew he wanted to be an architect by age nine. His long love of art allows him to use all his talents as an architect, but without the restrictions of a client. He has been an architect for 34-plus years, a photographer nearly as long and a woodworker even longer. He has won several awards for his photography, particularly his black and white images, and shows on both Bainbridge Island and in Seattle.
Jeffrey owns and operates Hummel Architects, p.c. in Seattle and does residential, multi-family, commercial, retail and development projects in Washington, Oregon and Hawaii, and has produced work as far away as Japan and West Africa. His other company, Toad Holler Woodworks on Bainbridge Island, produces live-edge one-of-a-kind wood and mixed media wood and metal furniture. His pieces are sold through The Island Gallery on Bainbridge Island or by commission.
