She has co-authored more than 50 historical designations, documenting important buildings and prominent citizens in the Southern California region.

Jennifer Macdonald is an emerging architect specializing in historic preservation. After completing a Master of Architecture degree with a concentration in historic preservation from Cal Poly Pomona in 2012, she spent 6 years with the San Diego firm Ferguson Pape Baldwin Architects (FPBA) doing complex commercial projects in the biotech and civic sectors. Notable projects include the recently completed Critical Support Services Building for the Coachella Valley Water District in Palm Desert, CA and the Alpine Library for the San Diego County Library system in Alpine, CA. Jennifer's experience with FPBA allowed her to complete rigorous California architect licensure in 2016. As of January 2019, she has partnered full-time with Paul and Sarai Johnson of Johnson & Johnson Architecture who run a long-standing historic preservation architecture practice in San Diego. Jennifer has been a volunteer guided tour docent at the Marston House since 2013 and currently leads the "Architectural Details of Master Architects Hebbard & Gill" tour on the third Sunday of each month.

Ms. Stiegler was elevated to Fellow of the American Institute of Architecture (FAIA) - an honor bestowed on only two percent of all AIA members. More recently, Ms. Stiegler's firm was awarded the Distinguished Practice Award by the American Institute of Architects California Council. This award recognizes significant contributions and accomplishments toward a specific building type or practice area. It was the first time that the AIACC had ever bestowed this award specifically in recognition of an architect's preservation work.
