A native of South Louisiana, Jarrod developed an early curiosity for design while working at his parents’ interior decorating stores and alongside his grandfather in his
woodworking shop.
Years of enjoying New Orleans culture and architecture led him to attend Tulane University, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Freeman
School of Business.
In 2020, Jarrod began working with a former Tulane teammate on his construction startup – later finding themselves aiding in the rescue of many homes during the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. During this time, he developed a deeper passion for New Orleans’ rich architectural history and style, leading him to study the traditional design and construction principles throughout the city and surrounding areas.
Jarrod founded Franklin Construction & Design in the fall of 2021 – committing himself to helping the residents of New Orleans with fine custom renovations, complex construction, and boutique commercial work.
Junior spent his youth growing up in Juticalpa, Honduras, where he learned from mentors about building construction and trade skills. He later would move to Louisiana to continue his passion.
Junior plays a big role in the daily operations and management of everyday clientele. His creativity, attention to detail, and sense of curiosity stem from a background with over 10 years of experience in residential carpentry/framing. During this time, he has taught many others the art of this trade, who are currently following his leadership.
Junior continues to find passion in being inspired by his surroundings of New Orleans; various skilled trades and other artisans.
