About Jen

Jen is the creative force behind Renew and Refine Design, an interior design studio that blends minimalist modern aesthetics with globally inspired, one-of-a-kind pieces. With a degree in Global Business from NYU and an Interior Design Diploma from the Art Institute of Chicago, Jen combines her strategic mindset with a passion for artistry and cultural storytelling.

Her love for design was born from a fascination with the beauty of handcrafted furniture and the rich stories behind each piece. Through her travels, she’s connected with artisans around the world—from the bustling markets of Bali to the serene workshops of Scandinavia—seeking out unique items that honor tradition while fitting seamlessly into contemporary spaces.

As a dedicated mother, Jen values creating homes that are not only functional and serene but also meaningful. Her client-first approach ensures every project is a reflection of her client’s individuality, infused with timeless elegance and cultural depth.

When she’s not designing, Jen enjoys exploring artisan markets, researching new destinations for sourcing, and finding innovative ways to incorporate her passions for cultural anthropology and sustainability into her work. For Jen, design is more than aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that tell a story and inspire connection.
