Owner & Principal Designer

Following a successful career in advertising and customer relations, Jeanine studied at the JDA School of Interior Design in London, England.   During her interior design career in England she worked on mainly residential properties.  After becoming a US citizen, Jeanine worked for 10 years with Pam Smith, owner and designer at DesignSmith Interiors. Pam sadly passed away in 2019 after a long battle with cancer.  It was Pam's wish that Jeanine continue to carry the design torch, and Jeanine has now built her own flourishing design business.

Fun fact:

Jeanine was varsity captain of the Netball team; she played goal attack.
