Cambridge, MA Jennifer Wells has been named to the newly created position of vice president, brand strategy at Shepley Bulfinch.

“Shepley Bulfinch is a seasoned, ambitious design firm,” she said. “The consistency and high quality of our design work has never been more important, particularly for teams working across multiple offices.”

Wells comes to Shepley Bulfinch after a decade with the PBS series “This Old House,” most recently as the award-winning show’s producer.  Her new post is a homecoming of sorts for the Cambridge native, who once worked in Shepley Bulfinch’s model shop as a young college graduate.

Wells is a graduate of Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

The national design firm has seen significant growth in recent years, opening its third office in Houston earlier this year and expanding its geographic reach to take on a wider range of projects and clients.
