Ever since Jen was young, design has been a part of her life. Whether it was spending hours creating Lego cities, begging her parents to buy her design magazines as a kid, or creating full design boards of her dream room in middle school, interior design has always been her passion. Throwback to the early 2000’s and Designer’s Challenge was her absolute favorite television show (Extreme Makeover Home Edition was a close second). It showed her a dream profession in which she wanted to strive for.

Jen graduated from Northern Arizona University (CIDA accredited) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design with a minor in Business. She successfully passed the professional licensing NCIDQ exam in 2018 and has over 8+ years of professional experience in the interior design industry. Her most recent experience as an interior designer was with a high-end hospitality firm specializing in 4 and 5 star luxury properties.

With Jen’s extensive hospitality design background, she decided she wanted to write her own story and provide curated, distinctive and impactful designs for her own clients. Hospitality design greatly focusses on the narrative of the project by creating an emotional and captivating response to each person as they experience the design for the first time. The design encapsulates the true identity of the area, community and history, which drives the overall design direction for the project. With this in mind, Jen wanted to apply this method to the residential design market, incorporating clients’ stories, who they are, what they love, & how they imagine their space to be, to create the same moving experience.

Jen has designed numerous projects ranging from full interior renovations, new build construction + furnishings, & investment portfolio opportunities. Each project is unique and showcases our signature modern bespoke style.

When not pouring her heart into design, Jen loves browsing her favorite bookstore, traveling with her husband, discovering new restaurants, and enjoying the sunny Scottsdale weather.
