Vera Jansone-deFisher (June 18, 1915 – February 12, 2004) was a Latvian-born American architect.

Personal life

In 1952, she married Emanuel Frederic de Fisher and had one daughter, Irina, who eventually became a doctor. Vera and her husband lived in Greenbrae, Marin County, in a house she had designed and built in 1976.[1] Although her work was mainly in large-scale projects and commercial developments, this house, cantilevered over a steep hill, demonstrates the degree to which Jansone was influenced by the International Style.[1]
