Jennifer Gschwilm
Customer Service Rep
Jennifer Gschwilm is an Illinois native who moved back to the US after residing abroad. During her travels she immersed herself in the diverse cultures, which have helped shape who she is today.
Since returning to the US, she has volunteered with various animal shelters and other organizations, worked in sales, assisted with credentialing for the local medical society, and spent two years earning her certificate in Green Building and Design. Earning this certificate has enabled her to have a better understanding of the LEED certification process, and how we can all strive to become better stewards of the environment.
Her greatest privilege and joy in life has been watching her beautiful daughter grow. In her free time, she is an avid nature enthusiast who enjoys camping, hiking and spending every free moment with her family in the great outdoors.
Stephanie Ramey
Design Engineer
I previously worked at ACGI as a draftsman for 4 years, before moving to Kansas. I graduated from OTC - Springfield in 2011 with a degree in Drafting and Design Technology. I still currently reside in Kansas with my husband and 4 children, who are very active in sports. I enjoy being outside, hiking trails and seeing waterfalls. I am very happy to be joining the team at AWD!
I joined the AWD team in October. Previously, I was involved with Wood Ceiling and Walls design at ACGI – where I was one of their top performers. After working there for 4 years, I moved to Kansas with my family eventually graduating from OTC in 2011 with a degree in drafting. My family including myself, my husband, and my 4 children are all active in sports and fill our days with our kids and their extracurricular activities. Collectively, our family loves the outdoors, from hiking to camping, and finding waterfalls to just enjoying nature.
I decided to pursue a drafting degree after growing up reading blueprints with my dad, who owned a construction company. My favorite product to draw is the solid wood grille panels system, but I also enjoy anything that challenges me to try something new and different.
I am excited to be back in the industry and working for AWD.
