Meet Jennifer — Asheville Interior Designer

For those who want a home with color, depth, and a real point of view.

A home should feel like the people who live in it.

I’ve always been drawn to the feeling of home. From rearranging my bedroom furniture as a child — convinced, for years, that every kid did this — to the careful work of living inside my own renovations as an adult, I’ve always known what a space needs and have the attention to detail to bring it to life.

I started my business the way I run it today — slowly, deliberately, and with clients who trust me completely. I never take on more than I can give everything to, because depth is the whole point of creating a space that feels unmistakably yours.

And when you’re hiring an interior designer, that’s the whole point.

I’m Jennifer — Asheville interior designer who believes
a home designed around who you are can change how you live.

Every project I take on begins with a real conversation — several of them, actually. About how you really live in and out of your home, what you want to feel when you walk through your front door, and what your home has been missing that you haven’t quite been able to pinpoint.

I listen for the things people don’t think to say. I notice what lights someone up and what makes them hesitate. I ask questions that feel more like getting to know you than a design intake, because that’s exactly what they are.

By the time we move into design, I have everything I need to make it yours. 

That’s when the magic happens — and why it feels so unmistakably yours.

The result isn’t my vision imposed on your space. It’s yours – considered, layered, and brought to life by someone who listened closely.

Clients walk in and can’t quite believe it. Not only because it’s beautiful, but because it feels like them.

That’s what this work is for. And it’s why the time, trust,
and investment it asks for are worth it.

Deeper work, fewer projects, and spaces that truly feel like you.

01

I’ve been married for 26 years, have three children — one of whom uses a wheelchair — and approach flow and space planning with accessibility woven naturally into my process.

02

I love to travel, wish I could bring home every dog I meet, and I find designing homes with cats challenging.

03

I think about your home long after I've left it. The experience is seamless from start to finish. You’re involved in the decisions that matter and relieved of everything else. 

04

I take on a small number of projects each year because that's how the work stays great. If you're thinking about working together, the best time to reach out is now.

Getting to know you on a personal level takes candor & a love of sharing your life.

So let me share a bit about mine too.

On art & why it’s always part of the work

Great art anchors a room, tells a story, and makes a space feel finished in a way nothing else can.

I have a deep love for original art and a curatorial eye that shows up in every project I take on. I source with intention and make it a point to include at least one piece by a local Asheville artist in every home I design.

A home that reflects you restores you.

I believe the spaces we live in shape us — how we move, how we rest, and how we feel on an ordinary day.

A home that’s truly yours gives you something back. Your energy. Your ease. A sense of yourself at the end of a long day that only a space designed only for you can offer.
