Jan offered quality & interesting materials and suggested ideas that would have never occurred to me. Some ideas, while adventurous, upon acceptance, gave visual impact upon completion and pleased me that I’d avoided my usual conservative space.

Jan is a creative-naturalist. She began her time on the Monterey Peninsula engrossed in a burgeoning stained glass career, while simultaneously volunteering alongside fellow central coast stewards supporting coastal habitats and native species. As an artist, her creative curiosity drew her towards interior design studies and 10 years of sustainable, remodel & renovation design projects in the Monterey Bay Region.
Guiding clients through a saturated design world to focus on restoring habitats to a renewed state, while producing less project waste is a responsibility. Conscientiously supporting a clients distinctive journey to then create meaningful, layered environments, inspired by nature, historic context and personal details allows her to gratefully continue cultivating her own distinctive design sense.
As individuals, we grow and evolve so it is only natural living spaces should reflect our ongoing journey, while supporting unique needs, desires, and aspirations with a cohesive design style that considers one’s personal health and overall well-being. It’s this personalized approach that continues to gain distinctive conclusions.
