Jenny has spent nearly two decades working in interior design. A graduate of Ryerson University’s interior design program, she has worked with some of the most respected designers in the industry, including Sarah Richardson, Ashley Botten and her colleagues at TOM Design Collective, where she continues to work as a lead designer today.
Over the course of her career, Jenny has led residential renovations and new builds, gaining first-hand experience in all the complexity that comes with bringing a project to life. That work has taught her as much about people, leadership and professional judgment as it has about interiors.
Alongside her active design practice, Jenny now works as a senior advisor and mentor to interior designers, helping them navigate the clients, trades, conversations, decisions and occasional curveballs that no design school can fully prepare you for.
Her goal is simple: to help good designers become more confident ones.
