Rejuvenating Interiors To Enhance Everyday Life
Jan is a creative-naturalist. She began her time on the Monterey Peninsula engrossed in a burgeoning stained glass career while simultaneously engaging with community groups who supported Central Cal’s habitats and native species. As an artist she nurtured her creative curiosity by completing a degree in interior design and since then, has been involved in sustainable remodel and renovation design projects in the Monterey Bay Region for over 10 years. Intertwining the natural world to create restorative spaces in connection with one’s personal environment was the habitual addition to her work. 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 create meaningful, layered environments inspired by nature, historic context and personal details has remained a basis to her unparalleled value along with continuing to cultivate a 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. A home is more than a collection of furniture and decor and Jan’s cohesive design style considers the support of one’s personal health and overall well-being. It’s this personalized approach that has gained successful conclusions.

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.
