Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!

I'm Jen - the face behind Designlyst.

For me, design is all about the details. The colors, the textures and the unexpected elements that make up a design. When I walk into a room, I can't help but visualize how a space can look with a little bit of this... and a little bit of that. True story, my mother will vouch for this lol I'm constantly rearranging her décor - just to see. Not that she needs my help!


While my former career included commercial design for the hospitality industry, I must give credit to my amazing parents who showed me that even the oldest, most run down homes can be transformed into something comfortable and welcoming - on a budget! My mother, who's eye for coordinating design came natural, is also very frugal - ahem - smart. Her famous saying - "A good cleaning and a can of paint is cheap and can transform a room". My father, a self-taught DIY veteran, aided the "fixer uppers" they purchased over the years and made a pretty penny in equity when it was time to sell. Along the way, him and I explored woodworking, making furniture and décor.


So, it was only natural that I grew up to become a creative professional. In high school and college, I enjoyed learning photography. Believe it or not, the same design principles I learned back then (think composition, color theory, examining every detail) can be applied to interior design and decorating.


My path has taught me a lot over the years and I'm so excited to be doing what I love now! Read on to explore what you can look forward to from the Designlyst blog.
